Sea Change is inspired and organ­ised by Drift Record Shop in the heart of Totnes, South Devon on 25 and 26 August. Dreamt up by the inno­v­a­tive Drift Record Shop, Sea Change mir­rors the pas­sions of the peo­ple that run the shop.

Food and drink: Com­mu­ni­ty craft brew­ery, New Lion (trad­ing in Totnes for near­ly 200 years) will brew spe­cial Sea Change beers and Totnes Brew­ing Co. will cask its own Sea Change ale; chef Patrick Han­na of London’s Rochelle Can­teen, Duck Soup and most recent­ly L’Entrepot, will cre­ate a spe­cial Drift pop-up fast food joint.
