58. Panel: Future Rural | Bridport Literary Festival | Friday 13 November 6pm

What might the countryside of tomorrow look like? That’s the question asked in Future Rural, a new collection of essays published by Little Toller.

Roger Mortlock, Chief Executive of the Campaign to Protect Rural England, will be joined by some of the contributors including Kim Squirrell and Sophie Gregory. Together they will explore how climate change, nature recovery, housing needs, farming and, above all, creative thinking are reshaping rural Britain.

A lively and timely conversation that celebrates the power of writing to inspire change, offering an optimistic, imaginative vision of the landscapes, communities and stories that will change the countryside for future generations.
