OUR NEXT LECTURE – Tues 14 Oct 2025
RICHARD VOBES:
The Time is Now! – Imagining a Town That Won’t Comply
There is no time like the present, and now is definitely the time to stop talking and start doing. Renowned broadcaster and campaigner Richard Vobes talks about his current move to the land to grow food and escape the system …
Richard’s new book, Biggleswick – The Town That Wouldn’t Comply, is just published and he talks about the big ideas and inspiration behind it. Although it is a fictional story, such a thing, he believes, is possible – that we can all move away from the tyranny of governmental control, as vividly depicted in the book.
Don’t miss this captivating and passionate speaker in action.
