SUMMARY:Eloise Kane talks to Horatio Clare | When Were We Wild?
DESCRIPTION:In Wilderlands\, the archaeologist Eloise Kane takes us on a fascinating and unfamiliar tour through 12\,000 years of our history. \nWhen the glaciers finally retreated at the end of the last Ice Age\, our ancestors crossed the land-bridge from the continent and reinhabited these islands. There have been humans here ever since – working the land\, taking from it what they needed (and often taking more). So\, when was Britain last truly wild? \nArchaeology has made amazing advances in recent decades\, changing our view of the past. Perhaps when we realise that humans have always been a part of this landscape\, we can see our own problems in a new light. Eloise shows how plants and animals\, like us\, manipulate their environments. \n“In this way of thinking\, it is easier to envisage humans as part of the world\, as one node in a much vaster set of relationships\, rather than the be-all and end-all of existence.”\nEloise Kane \nEloise will be in conversation with writer\, broadcaster and thinker Horatio Clare. Horatio Clare will be appearing at Consider the Wondrous earlier on in the day in conversation with psychotherapist and author Julia Samuel on the subject of Nature and Our Minds. \nThe event takes place in our venue for the weekend\, RISE. So come on along\, grab a mid-afternoon treat from onsite Rye Bakery and discover what our festival has to offer. \nPlease note: there is no parking at the venue itself\, but there is plenty of long-stay public parking within close walking distance to the venue at Cattle Market Car Park or Merchants Barton Car Park. We are pleased to say the venue is fully accessible for wheelchair users. \nThis event is part of the Consider the Wondrous | nature\, wonder\, books & us festival.

SUMMARY:Jon Gower & Stephen Moss in Conversation | Bird Talk
DESCRIPTION:An unmissable conversation between two great bird enthusiasts. \nJon Gower has loved birds since one of his collier grandfather’s canaries hatched in the palm of his hand. In Birdland\, he travels Britain from Portland Bill to the Hebrides in search of kittiwakes\, bustards and turtle doves as well as a remarkable cast of characters – poets\, soldiers\, ‘The Goose Whisperer’ – who observe\, conserve and marvel at them. \nStephen Moss is a naturalist\, broadcaster and author of many books including the acclaimed series of bird biographies which will hatch a new addition The Puffin this October. He has written an introduction to the classic books written in the 1950s by a remarkable musician and bird-woman Len Howard\, now republished in a single volume as Bird Life. He is President of the Somerset Wildlife Trust. \nBoth authors\, in Jon’s words\, ‘want to tell people about birds in the hope that it kindles the light of care.’ \nThe event takes place in our venue for the weekend\, RISE. So come on along\, grab a drink from the Rye Bakery and step into the first ​evening of our festival. \nPlease note: there is no parking at the venue itself\, but there is plenty of long-stay public parking within close walking distance to the venue at Cattle Market Car Park or Merchants Barton Car Park. We are pleased to say the venue is fully accessible for wheelchair users. \nThis event is part of the Consider the Wondrous | nature\, wonder\, books & us festival.

SUMMARY:Cal Flyn talks to Charles Foster | The Savage Landscape
DESCRIPTION:In The Savage Landscape Cal Flyn goes in search of wildness “because I wanted to live my life more intensely… tap into a rawer\, more authentic\, more capable\, part of myself.” \nShe meets gorillas in Uganda\, blue sheep in Nepal\, and writes luminously in terror and fascination of the new world created in front of her eyes by a volcanic eruption in Iceland. But she travels into thought and ideas as well as landscapes\, exploring the historical and political context of what she sees. Everywhere\, she encounters the contradictions of wildness on a crowded planet – the clutter of research bases in the pure whiteness of Antarctica\, a ‘Welcome’ sign in an officially designated ‘wilderness’\, the shocking but commonplace eviction of people from their ancestral lands in the name of nature conservation. Nonetheless\, again and again there is astonishment. “Within each landscape one might hit a bedrock of pure feeling… this is freedom. This is awe. This is horrified delight.” \nSavage Landscape is Cal Flyn’s triumphant follow-up to her wildly bestselling book Islands of Abandonment\, which marked her out as one of the brightest talents in writing about place and people. She will be in conversation with Charles Foster. \nThis event is kindly sponsored by Sherlock & Pages. \nThe event takes place in our venue for the weekend\, RISE. So come along early\, enjoy coffee (or brunch) onsite at the wonderful Rye Bakery and launch into the second full day of our festival. \nThis event is part of the Consider the Wondrous | nature\, wonder\, books & us festival.

SUMMARY:A Library of Wonder | Michael Malay\, Anita Roy\, Julian Hight and guests
DESCRIPTION:Nature-writing has boomed in the last twenty years. Books by two of our festival authors\, Cal Flyn and Mark Cocker\, recently appeared on The Sunday Times list of the most important non-fiction titles this century. \nThe best books continue to inspire new generations with hope and with the love that great naturalists\, storytellers and artists show for the living world. So\, here at Consider the Wondrous. we want to build a Library of Wonder\, a booklist of the very best nature-related writing to guide new readers and embolden us all to know that there are truer\, more positive and more fascinating things in the world than the stories the media tell. \nOur expert panel will make their personal recommendations based around the following questions: \n\nWhich nature-related books mean most to you?\nWhich have opened your eyes and your minds?\nWhich must you re-read and buy as gifts for your friends?\n\nBut our library won’t be complete without your suggestions! Come along clutching your precious must-reads and tell us about your favourites (we love a bit of show and tell!). Let’s share our knowledge and wonder\, and build our dream library together. \nThe event takes place in our venue for the weekend\, RISE. So come along for brunch (or an early lunch) onsite at the wonderful Rye Bakery and make the most of day two of our festival. \nThis event is part of the Consider the Wondrous | nature\, wonder\, books & us festival.

SUMMARY:Charles Foster and Mark Cocker | Seeing the World Afresh
DESCRIPTION:We’re privileged to host this conversation between two of the most generous-minded thinkers concerned with the natural world. \nMark Cocker is one of our leading naturalists. He leads courses in nature watching and writing (and will also be leading a guided nature walk earlier in the day here at Consider the Wondrous). His new book The Nature of Seeing encourages us to reclaim our inner gift for wonder and to see the living world in all its infinite detail and mystery. \nCharles Foster is a qualified vet\, barrister and Fellow of Exeter College\, Oxford. In The Edges of the World\, he shows how in both nature and our culture\, creativity\, change and freshness come from the edges of things\, not the complacent\, self-regarding centre. It’s the perfect book for a creative and ‘different’ town like Frome! \nTo give the authors time to fully explore their ideas\, this event will be 90 minutes long. \nThe event takes place in our venue for the weekend\, RISE. So come along for lunch onsite at the wonderful Rye Bakery and make the most of day two of our festival. \nThis event is part of the Consider the Wondrous | nature\, wonder\, books & us festival.

SUMMARY:Joseph Jebelli talks to Anita Roy | The Brain at Rest
DESCRIPTION:We’re constantly badgered to do more\, to aim higher\, to make the most of our time. Our phones and social media\, which pose as a break from work\, only keep our minds over-stimulated and anxious. \nIn The Brain at Rest\, Joseph Jebelli explains why stress is so damaging and introduces us to the brain’s ‘default network’ – the circuitry that helps us daydream\, reflect and imagine. He shares tips on reorganising your life to prioritise sleep\, finding silence\, walking and spending time in nature. Rest is not a lazy alternative to work\, but an essential part of it. \n“Activating the default network can enhance your intelligence\, creativity\, social empathy and long-term productivity. It can improve your health and help stave off neurological disease.” Joseph Jebelli \nJoseph will be in conversation with Anita Roy – a writer\, editor\, environmentalist and regular contributor to The Guardian Country Diary. \nThe event takes place in our venue for the weekend\, RISE. So come along early for an afternoon coffee and cake onsite at the wonderful Rye Bakery and enjoy the last few events of our fabulous festival. \nThis event is part of the Consider the Wondrous | nature\, wonder\, books & us festival.

SUMMARY:Harriet Rix talks to Julian Hight | The Genius of Trees
DESCRIPTION:Our hope is that Consider the Wondrous can help us to rethink our place on the planet\, as one remarkable species among so many others. So\, it’s fitting that our final event this year should show something as commonplace as trees in a radically different light. \nIt’s easy to think of trees as noble\, beautiful but ultimately passive presences in the landscape. Harriet Rix’s extraordinary book The Genius of Trees tells a different story. Trees have agency\, modifying and working with the animals\, plants and fungi around them: they manipulate the clouds to produce the climate they like\, they shiver rock into fertile soil\, they change the very atmosphere. \nHarriet Rix has led an extraordinary life – with an education spanning a Biochemistry degree earned at Oxford\, to an MPhil in the History and Philosophy of Science\, specialising in Ottoman Science\, from Cambridge. Her studies led to travel\, and work in IED and landmine clearance in the Middle East. The terrible effects of environmental degradation that she witnessed in Iraq prompted her to join the tree sector\, and in 2018 she returned to the UK to try to learn about the world of trees in this context. \n“This is a story of how tree-ish trees are\, and how… they have woven the world into a place of great beauty and extraordinary variety” Harriet Rix \nJulian Hight is a tree-obsessive\, punk rocker and graphic designer. His new book The Ancient Tree Explorer is a fascinating and sumptuous guide to the most magnificent trees in Britain. On Saturday 19 September at 10am\, you can join Julian as he leads us on a tree adventure around Frome. \nThis event takes place in our venue for the weekend\, RISE. So come along early for a late afternoon coffee and cake at the wonderful onsite Rye Bakery and enjoy this final event of our fabulous festival. \nThis event is part of the Consider the Wondrous | nature\, wonder\, books & us festival.

SUMMARY:Magnum
DESCRIPTION:Magnum Announce “The Next Chapter” — Honouring the Legacy of Tony Clarkin and Celebrating Over 50 Years of Music \nBritish rock legends Magnum are entering an exciting new era as they continue to honour the extraordinary legacy of their late founder\, guitarist\, and songwriter Tony Clarkin\, who sadly passed away last year. \nWith a remarkable career spanning more than five decades\, Magnum have long been celebrated for their melodic power\, rich storytelling\, and unwavering dedication to their craft. Following Tony’s untimely passing\, the band paid tribute to his life and work with a series of special performances titled “The Passage in Time” — a two-hour celebration of some of Tony’s most iconic compositions. \nThe shows\, performed by Bob Catley\, Rick Benton\, Lee Morris\, Dennis Ward\, and Brendon Riley (who stepped into Tony’s role on stage with immense pride and respect)\, were met with overwhelming love and gratitude from fans and the wider rock community. The energy\, emotion\, and shared sense of remembrance reaffirmed the band’s belief that Tony’s music — and the spirit of Magnum — must continue. \nIn the wake of these heartfelt tributes\, Dionne Clarkin\, Tony’s daughter\, began exploring over three decades of Magnum’s archives. Her journey uncovered a treasure trove of material — from early drafts and lyric notes that reveal the evolution of some of Magnum’s most beloved songs\, to four fully completed\, never-before-heard tracks that capture Tony’s creative brilliance in his final years. \nThis discovery marks the beginning of a new chapter for Magnum — one that celebrates the band’s past while looking boldly to the future. \n“The support from fans has been truly overwhelming\,” said the band. “Tony’s music has always been at the heart of Magnum\, and with Dionne’s dedication and the incredible response from the shows\, we know the story isn’t over. This is the next chapter — for Tony\, for Magnum\, and for everyone who has been part of this journey.” \nMagnum are now preparing to share this next chapter with their loyal fans around the world — continuing the band’s legacy of timeless rock and heartfelt storytelling. \nGrand Slam \nBack in the post Thin Lizzy days\, Laurence Archer wrote and performed with Phil Lynott. Sadly\, Grand Slam was cut short in its prime\, with Phil Lynott’s untimely death leaving a hole in the fabric of rock music to this day. \nLaurence went on to make his name playing with UFO but always nurtured a long-term plan to rebuild the Grand Slam machine. And here it is – primed and ready. \nThe new band (Laurence alongside Mike Dyer\, Benjy Reid and Rocky Newton) honours the traditions of the band’s history whilst also looking to the future – classic tracks co-written by Lynott and Archer sit alongside a set of brand new songs that embody the same ethos of freedom\, positivity and adrenaline that ran through Grand Slam in 1984.

SUMMARY:Full moon swim and sauna at Vallis Farm
DESCRIPTION:Women have been gathering under the full moon forever so join me for a wild swim and sauna under the stars and full moon (moon sighting not guaranteed but we’ll feel her energy whatever the weather!) We’ll meet outside the farmhouse and then have an hour together in a private sauna and swim session with a full moon ritual and intention setting. Swimming in the dark is a truly magical experience and extremely empowering.

SUMMARY:Autumn Equinox Gathering with Amanda Randell Cox
DESCRIPTION:The Autumn Equinox is that beautiful moment when day and night are held in perfect balance before the landscape begins its gentle transition into winter. Rather than celebrating abundance\, it celebrates noticing\, seed heads instead of flowers\, texture instead of colour\, habitats instead of displays. \nTo celebrate this Autumn Equinox we invite you to join Amanda Randell Cox\, a local artist specialising in landscape-led botanical design\, at Heal Somerset for a morning of exploration\, creation and delicious food. We will start the day with tea\, coffee\, fruit and pastries followed by a guided walk around our beautiful rewilding site. We will then return to the community nature cabin for a creative botanical session inspired by everything we’ve just seen together during the morning walk. \nWorking together in small groups\, guests will create a relaxed autumn table meadow using seasonal grasses and seed heads gathered in advance\, before making their own delicate wire insect to take home. \nFinally\, we will enjoy a seasonal vegetarian brunch surrounded by the botanical table meadows created together\, with time to reflect on the changing season and everything discovered during the morning. \nTimings \n7.30am Meet at the Community Nature Cabin for tea\, coffee\, fruit and pastries \n7.45am Welcome and introduction to the Autumn Equinox\, followed by a guided walk through Heal’s beautiful rewilding landscape \n9.00am Return to the Community Nature Cabin for a creative botanical session \n10.15am Seasonal vegetarian brunch \n11.00am Event ends \nAbout your guide\, Amanda Randell Cox \nAmanda Randell Cox is a botanical artist\, creative project manager and RHS Chelsea Gold medallist whose work explores the relationship between people\, plants and place. \nAfter more than twenty years creating floral installations\, teaching professional floristry and working closely with historic gardens and landscapes\, her practice has evolved towards landscape-led botanical design\, inspired by the textures\, seed heads and quiet beauty of rewilding landscapes as the seasons change. \nAmanda’s work is rooted in the belief that creativity begins with noticing\, slowing down to observe the rhythms of the landscape\, understanding how habitats support wildlife\, and discovering beauty in the often-overlooked details of nature. \nShe is delighted to be sharing this special Autumn Equinox Gathering at Heal Somerset\, inviting guests to slow down\, observe and create together in celebration of the changing season\, and an invitation to keep noticing long after the morning ends.
