About the event

Come along to listen to bog stories, readings and performances that have bubbled up from young people exploring the peatlands of the South West region. From Dorset's peatland pockets, Somerset’s peaty fens and marshes to the blanket bogs on the Moors, we will share our love of these carbon rich and climate crucial landscapes, hear more of their heritage and the beginnings of a young persons' manifesto - making a declaration for their future. 

Book a place if you can so we have an idea of numbers but you are welcome to drop in on the day.

This event is part of a week-long celebration How to BURY the GIANT, a retrospective of the Art and Energy Collective.
