Ambios and The East Gate Bookshop have teamed up once again to host Restoring Nature 2025, a one-day family-friendly literary festival at Lower Sharpham Barton Farm.
Join us on Saturday 17th May to discover how rewilding and regenerative farming practices are restoring nature: improving food security, reducing the use of chemicals, rebuilding soil fertility, employing more people on the land and creating places that benefit us all.
The day will be filled with talks, walks, books, authors, discussions, live music, a fully licensed bar and delicious locally sourced food. There will be authors throughout the day reading and presenting from their books, both outside on the land and inside the barn.
The guest authors for Restoring Nature 2025 are:
- Poppy Okotcha, A Wilder Way: How Gardens Grow Us
- Guy Shrubsole: The Lie of the Land
- Sophie Pavelle To Have or To Hold: Nature's Hidden Relationships
- Bonnie Lander Johnson: Vanishing Landscapes
Visit https://www.ambios.net/restoring-nature/ for more information, including the event schedule.
All ages are welcome and well-behaved dogs on lead are also welcome. We hope to see you there!
Please note parking at the farm is only available to Blue Badge holders. We are a 45-minute walk from Totnes town along the scenic cycle path. Alternatively, a free return shuttle service provided by the non-profit Totnes Community Bus Group will be available from Totnes town.
*Please note, food and drink are available to purchase separately and are not included in the ticket price
