Join us for a fascinating talk with Roger Rowe in aid of the John Clare Cottage Thatch Appeal

John Clare was a fierce critic of injustice, enclosure, and inequality — and his words still speak powerfully to us today. In this lively talk, Roger Rowe explores Clare’s radical politics and asks what they can teach us now about land, community, and our shared right to nature.🌍🌱

✨ Roger discovered Clare’s genius in the early 1970s and has spent decades studying Clare’s published and unpublished poems and prose — producing a remarkable library of books on this extraordinary writer. 📚💚

⏳ The talk will last roughly 1.5 hours, with an interval to enjoy homemade refreshments in the John Clare Cottage café. ☕🍰

Tickets should be purchased here through Eventbrite for a suggested donation of £7.50.
