The Regent offers a preview of the riches to come at CAFF, the County Adaptation Film Festival, with a screening of The Peasants, a stunning painted film by the team that created Loving Vincent on Saturday 4 May at 7pm. Tickets available at the Regent box office.

Affordability is always in the news these days. A pair of industrial designers are hard at work in Bloomfield developing beautifully crafted tiny homes.

One of Instead’s Tiny Homes, this one on wheels.

The great County Reads debate takes place the evening of Thursday 18 April at St. Mary Magdalene Church. This weekend, CBC’s weekend morning show Fresh Air interviews a couple of the contestants, Man about Town Ernie Margetson and Gazette publisher Karen Valihora. For early risers: the show airs Sunday at 7:45am, or you can listen anytime online.
