Things you don’t expect at Big Yellow 👀. This week saw this impressive sand sculpture, created for @TheIvyColle by @sandinyoureye arrive at one of our stores 🏰 . Our secure storage space will house the sculpture until the November grand opening of The Ivy Bournemouth.
As the last one was such a success, our colleagues @devonfhs will be running another Family History Help Desk at our next Discovery Saturday on 21st June. swheritage.org.uk/events/devon-d…
Thinking of doing a DNA test? Done a DNA test and confused about what to do next? Inspired by our recent talk about DNA? Still a few spaces left on Michelle Patient's excellent 4 week online DNA course, run by Devon FHS starts soon devonfhs.org.uk/product/dna-an…

Great to have Paul and Martin from the @OfficialECFC museum, @GrecianArchive here this morning to help identify and sort artefacts from the Dave Fisher collection of football memorabilia with a view to a potential loan agreement.
A pleasure to be @TorreAbbey again yesterday for the opening of ‘From Rebels to Riches’, a product of our valued partnerships with the abbey, @UkNatArchives and @Torbay_Council. The exhibition runs until 14 July.

We are really excited that our new village walk booklet is now available from the Heritage Centre or New Fountain Inn – price £2. It features twenty sites of historic interest around the village, and is a great outdoor activity for adults and children.
We are please to be involved in this event too.
Great #FamilyHistory Day at Bow with Bow History Society @LucyBrowne63 @LibraryFolklore and Nigel Browne
Nothing like a live event! Was lucky enough to be involved in a @devonfhs collaboration with Bow History Society. Nothing beats a get-together with lots of great chat for reminding me why I love this business! God bless village halls and all who sail in them #familyhistory
