Burton at the Pannier Market
Gideon Mendel’s beautiful collection of images entitled “When I’m 40” have been proudly displayed in Bideford Pannier Market this week. Bideford Town Council’s fantastic team of Town Rangers have worked incredibly hard to find an inspired way in which to hang the 18 large images, mounting on dibond.
The collection of images look magnificent in the Market Hall. The perfect backdrop for the display.
Gideon Mendel is a world-leading climate photographer, who has been working with Beaford Arts and children of North Devon, to explore what they thought their environment might be like in 2050.
The Burton at Bideford are very grateful for the opportunity to exhibit in the Market Hall, and praised the team for their incredible work.
The collection of images have been hung in readiness for the launch of Photomonth, this weekend, and will be on display until 2 June in Bideford Pannier Market.
Be sure to make the time to visit the Pannier Market to view the “When I’m 40” collection, and enjoy the Market Complex experience.

CELEBRATING 45 YEARS OF TWINNING WITH LANDIVISIAU
For the first time since before Covid, the Bideford branch of the Twinning Association travelled to Landivisiau for their annual trip and to celebrate 45 years of Twinning.
This time our Mayor, Councillor Jamie McKenzie and his Mayoress, Mrs Zofia McKenzie joined them – and they had a great time. The Mayor thanked the Bideford Twinners for inviting him and the Mayoress. He said “The people from Landivisiau are so very welcoming and we were given a marvellous time with learning about Landivisiau and the Breton cultures. I managed to win the Sea-shell spitting competition which makes me the British Champion but not the European Champion!” He added “We were treated like family and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend anyone joining the Twinning Association – it’s not just for older people!”
Our picture shows our Mayor, Jamie McKenzie with the Deputy Mayor of Landivisiau, M. Louis Saliou.
