The Dartmoor Tors Festival was set up in 2025 by Sophie Pierce and Dr Alex Murdin. It explores intersections culture and place, and our emotional, embodied and cerebral connections with domesticated, wild, ancient and new places. In the festival we aim to present diverse cultural, social and political responses to the natural world through the lens of Dartmoor, through a cross-disciplinary programme of talks, conversations, walks, workshops and performances.
The Festival is a partnership with the folk curators of Field System Gallery and musical expertise of Ashburton Arts Centre, with the support of Dartmoor National Park, Dewerstone and Sherewood Gallery.
