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

Guy Shrubsole The Lie of the Land 

Sophie Pavelle To Have or To Hold

Bonnie Lander Johnson Vanishing Landscapes

All ages are welcome and well-behaved dogs on lead are also welcome.
