Event 11 | Merlin Hanbury-Tenison | Our Oaken Bones

TICKETS ON GENERAL SALE 29 AUGUST

Reviving a Family, a Farm and Britain’s Ancient Rainforests.

Merlin and his wife Lizzie leave London and return to his childhood home, a Cornish hill farm. Reeling from personal grief, they find the farm slipping into debt, whilst discovering that the damaged woods running through the valley are one of the UK’s last fragments of Atlantic temperate rainforest. So begins a fight to save not only themselves and their farm, but also one of the world’s most endangered habitats. Our Oaken Bones is a story about renewal, the astonishing healing power of nature, and our duty to heal it in return.

An illustrated talk.
