What’s happening soon
Derek vs Derek Screening
Join us for a screening of Derek vs Derek in Austwick Village Hall, followed by a Q&A with local farmer and conservationist.
Award-winning director James Dawson’s new documentary is set in the rolling hills of Devon, telling the story of two neighbouring farmers who share the same name but take radically different approaches to land use.
In equal parts hilarious and moving, the film shines a light on the vital debate surrounding the future of rural Britain, encouraging conversation around how farming and nature restoration might work together.
The film runtime is 88 minutes, 15 age rating. Bring your own refreshments!
Any funds raised will be donated to the Clapham Curlew Cluster and the Farming Community Network.
Organised by Rona and Pete Webster of Lawkland Hall Farm and Clapham-based Nell Whitley and Robin McNicholas of artist collective Marshmallow Laser Feast.
Monday 23 November Doors: 7.15pm Film starts: 7.30pm Panel discussion: 9 – 9.30pm Tickets £6
