‘Surrounded by peace and calm with nature’
Join us for Coffee, History and Chat at The Band Factory to hear about women's role in the Leamington Allotment Project.
Mark Godfrey from Leamington Spa Photographic Society, will give a talk about his successful submission for Associateship of the Royal Photographic Society. An allotment can be a source of peace, solace and re-invigoration, and in the 2020s it is thriving. Fifty years ago, it was a male domain with 98% of holders’ men, but now women represent half of all allotment holders.
His photographs, which were all taken on one allotment in the town, aim to demonstrate the positive impact that an allotment can have on women’s physical and mental health.
