An Evening with James Rebanks interviewed by Julius Roberts

Join 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. Known for his fable-like and familiar voice, 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 waters of the UNESCO-protected Norwegian Vega archipelago.

Here he goes to live and work with an elderly Norwegian woman on a remote island near the Arctic circle. The woman has done the seemingly impossible: she has single-handedly revived an ancient practice of caring for wild Eider ducks, and James wants to understand how she did it.

James will testify, for anyone who feels their best years are behind them, this is an incredible and heartwarming story of a unique woman who single-handedly changed an entire ecosystem.

Join James on a heartfelt journey through the landscapes he cherishes. As he captures their essence, you'll have the chance to ask your own questions and explore how to find your own sense of belonging and connection

Books will also be available for RRP on the night.
