We made most our events in 2020 free to all with donations where people felt able to. We are now selling tickets for our in person and livestreamed events in Shute. Our entire festival is volunteer run so your money and donations will go directly into the events themselves including helping fund our planned 2021 outreach programme for our local primary school. Please note that tickets below are for in person attendance. If you want to book a livestream ticket please do this via the Programme tab on this website.
Clive Stafford Smith on Life & Death
£10.00
Friday 26 November 6:30-7:30 pm
St Michael's Church Shute EX13 7QR
Children 16 and under are free
Clive Stafford Smith was the founder and former Director of the London charity Reprieve. He has recently established a new charity, based in Bridport, called the 3DCentre. Clive continues to provide free legal and investigative support to some of the world’s most vulnerable people – those facing execution around the world, and those victimised by states’ abusive counter-terror policies, including torture and extrajudicial killing - but is now doing that in the context of training the next generation to identify their passion and themselves work on human rights, climate action or economic justice. In 2001, Clive sued for access to the prisoners at Guantánamo Bay. Believing the camp was an affront to democracy and the law, his goal was to close Guantánamo. Clive has helped secure the release of 81 prisoners from the camp, including every British prisoner, and continues to act for 7 more. A graduate of Columbia Law School in New York, Clive worked as a lawyer with the Southern Center for Human Rights, focusing on death penalty and civil rights cases. He has represented over 300 prisoners facing the death penalty in America, preventing the death penalty in all but six cases. He will be speaking about injustice in the American court room and the extraordinary case of a British man - Kris Maharaj who has spent over 30 years on death row in Florida for a crime he didn't commit. Clive has received an OBE for Humanitarian Services and an International Bar Association’s Human Rights Award.

James Crowden on Cider Country
£10.00
Friday 29 October at 6.00- 7.30 pm St Michael's Church Shute
Cider-making has been at the heart of country life for hundreds of years. But the fascinating story of how this drink came into existence and why it became so deeply rooted in the nation’s psyche has never been told. In order to answer these questions, James Crowden traces an elusive history stretching back to the ancient civilisations of Central Asia and the Mediterranean – and even the wild apple forests of Kazakhstan. Cider Country is the unusual and enthralling story of Cider and the remarkable people who have made it. James will be in conversation with writer and journalist Martin Hesp. Ticket includes cider and cheese tasting.
