The Good Life: A Celebration of Fowls and Flowers.

‘Home to roost’, ‘pecking order’, ‘rule the roost’, ‘hen pecked’: one look at the English language reveals how chickens have been our domestic companions since time immemorial. Bestselling writer, gardener and top henfluencer Arthur Parkinson talks to Festival President Dame Fiona Reynolds about his long fascination with heritage breed chickens, as well as his passion for old-fashioned, nature-friendly gardening and the perils of modern consumer culture. Whether you’re an experienced hen keeper, dreaming of the good life or just enjoy Arthur’s stories about his beloved ‘ladies’, join us for what promises to be a unique and thoroughly entertaining illustrated talk – the ultimate hen party!
