We're thrilled to announce our first event of the year!

Join us on Wednesday 8th February for an evening talk with James Canton, who will be discussing his highly anticipated upcoming book, Grounded, with local author, John Buchanan. 

For thousands of years, our ancestors held a close connection with the landscapes they lived in. They imbued it with meaning: stone monuments, sacred groves, places of pilgrimage. In our modern world we have rather lost that enchantment and intimate knowledge of place. 

James Canton takes us on a journey through England seeking to see through more ancient eyes, to understand what landscape meant to those that came before us. There is history and meaning encoded into the lands and places we live in, if only we take the time to look. Our natural world has never been under more threat. 

If we relocate our sense of wonder, veneration and awe in the landscapes we live in, we might just be better at saving it. 

We're so excited to welcome James along with John Buchanan, author of Wildlife of Maldon, for this exciting talk. The event will take place on Wednesday 8th February at the Blue Boar at 7pm. You can purchase your tickets directly in the shop or through our Eventbrite page (link in bio!)

We hope to see you there! 📚
