Celebration of Nature Writing

Great Big Green Week runs from Saturday 6th – Sunday 14th June, and this is a launch event for the Four Villages Sustainability Network, kindly hosted by Rosara in their beautiful Orchard Barn. Five authors – food writer and blogger Kathy Slack, poet and publisher Claire Cox and novelists Jane Rogers, Celia Rees and Linda Newbery, will each talk about the importance of the natural world to our lives and work. In a second session we will introduce our favourite nature writing, with time for discussion and Q&A. In between and afterwards, guests can visit the new Green Room cafe for snacks or lunch, or the Yurt for lunch (booking advised). Books will be available in Rosara’s bookshop, and tickets are just £5 which is redeemable against a book purchase. Link for tickets: We hope to see you there for reading inspiration and an enjoyable morning in lovely surroundings.
