WHERE IS HEAVEN? - EMMETTS FILM CLUB AND DINNER - 24th November at 6pm

Book here!👀
https://emmetts.sumupstore.com/product/emmetts-film-club-where-is-heaven-24th-november-6pm-2026

By popular request I have been asked to set up a film club at Emmetts. The Emmetts Film Club will screen films on a monthly basis and will include dinner. We hope to bring people across the moor together to enjoy a hot meal in front of a film, in an attempt to tackle loneliness and improve community spirit during the winter months.

So do join us for the first Emmetts Film Club where we will be screening a hugely popular award winning documentary that delves into the off-grid lives of some truly fascinating local characters…

Maverick soulmates Ged and Dave are on a mission through the winding lanes and hidden tracks of North Devon, to record the lives and experiences of people living without mains electricity. Filming where is heaven? over ten years, they captured not only the beauty of this often harsh environment but also the spirit of the wonderful off-grid characters who inhabit it. A diverse collection of people whose stories at first appear meandering tributaries but quickly swell to become an intricate weave of philosophies and vibrant wit, uniting around our common search for happiness.

This rich tapestry of personalities, stunning landscapes and the musical accompaniment of Cosmo Sheldrake combine to deliver where is heaven?’s unique and extraordinary soul. Electrically charged with a seductive power not supplied by the National Grid.

Day Camp at Emmetts on Exmoor
Sunday, November 22nd 2026

Join us for a Day Camp focusing on Rider Performance and Wellbeing. A full experience to help you develop your dressage and become more in-tune with your horse.

Two instructed sessions on the day:

One individual Rider Mindset and Biomechanics Session with Colleen Hoekstra Knox - evaluating how you are influencing your horse and making small adjustments to maximise your correctness and communication.

Colleen is a Dressage and Horsemanship instructor with over 30 years of experience training horses and riders from grassroots to FEI levels, and solving wider behavioral issues. She has extensively studied rider psychology and biomechanics, having trained with Biomechanics pioneers J Ashton Moore and Hilary Clayton. She also employs classical principles to help riders enhance their horses’ work in a calm, quiet and practical way.

One individual body assessment with Miranda Taylor. Miranda will give you off-horse exercises and a bespoke yoga routine to take home and enhance your ridden work and general health and well-being.

Miranda brings a wealth of experience in health, movement, and restorative practices, combining yoga, breathwork, nervous system regulation, sleep management, and therapeutic bodywork to create deeply personalised experiences.

You’ll leave the day with a new outlook, a calm reset, and a comprehensive plan for your training both on and off your horse!

Also included in the day:
Optional Guided Hack across the Moor available AM or PM

Meet and Greet Breakfast 8:00-9:00am - Bacon and Egg Sandwiches, yogurt and fruit from Emmett’s amazing kitchen with locally sourced pork and eggs.
