An Evening with James Rebanks

oin acclaimed English sheep farmer and author James Rebanks, for a special evening celebrating the release of his new book, The Place of Tides.

James' roots run deep in the Lake District, where his family have lived and worked for over six centuries. With his profound insights and storytelling, he has captivated readers worldwide and earned widespread acclaim for his number one bestselling debut, The Shepherd’s Life. His works not only chronicle the beauty and challenges of rural life but also celebrate the timeless connection between land and people.

Now, hear from James as he shares the story of his ventures beyond the familiar pastures of agricultural literature to explore the water of the UNESCO-protected Norwegian Vega archipelago. Here is where he revisited an old woman he met years before caring for wild Eider ducks and gathering their down. It is the story of a unique and ancient landscape and practice and of the woman who brought it back to life. Tracing the pattern of her work from the rough, isolated toil of bitter winter, to the elation of the endless summer light, James will share how this woman and her world are not at all what he had previously thought, and how the journey became an extraordinary lesson in self-knowledge and forgiveness.

With the opportunity to ask James your own questions, join James as he captures the essence of the landscapes he loves, and the tales that emerge from them.

VIP tickets are available for this event. This includes your ticket to the show and a copy of James Rebanks latest book The Place of Tides.
