Wednesday 10 April 2024– Knepp Castle Rewilding Project – Matthew Phelps. A trailblazing 350 acres rewilding project that has changed the way we think about nature and heal our planet. A moment of epiphany came in 2001 when Knepp received Countryside Stewardship Funding to restore the Repton Park in the middle of the Estate. The Park restoration provided a chance to look at the land in a completely different way.
Wednesday 15 May 2024 – Odette – Louise Higham. Odette was the most highly decorated spy of the Second World War and was also awarded the George Cross. Her story will be told by her granddaughter.
Wednesday 12 June 2024 - Solo walk across Africa – Fran Sandham. Fran is the author of the non-fiction book Traversa: A Solo Walk Across Africa which was serialised in the Sunday Times. He walked from Namibia’s Skeleton Coast to the Indian Ocean near Zanzibar – a 3000-mile trek taking nearly a year.
