Royal Albert Memorial Museum is hosting the latest in a series of RAMM Lates events at an adults-only evening on Friday 25 April.

The food-themed event begins at 6.30pm and includes workshops, demonstrations, dancing, music and talks by various food industry professionals.

Mary Quicke will provide cheese-making demonstrations and Devon-based artist and illustrator Bethan Welby will offer food-inspired still life drawing workshops.

Talks include University of Exeter lecturer Rebecca Sandover on food networks in Devon and local farmer Martyn Bragg on the pressures created by our globalised food system.

The museum’s new food-based fine art collection Feast for the Eyes will also be on display alongside Food: Beyond the Plate, a new exhibition which explores the history of food production.
