Despite the challenges thrown up by the Covid-19 pandemic and lockdown, the Deep Roots Festival gets underway this month. The flagship project of Arts Destination South Molton, it aims to bring together a broad mix of online and live events; community poetry projects, classical/folk/ popular music, exhibitions, talks and demos. In 2021 it spans three weekends, in June, July and September. This year there is a special ‘legacy’ element to the festival.
