Festival supports Wells Ecoweek

Health, climate change and conservation are all hot topics, and not only is the Festival hosting three speakers on relevant subjects this year, but it is pleased to support Wells Ecoweek.

This is an event organised by the Wells Environment Network to raise awareness in the city of the need to protect and conserve our environment.

Gut health expert Tim Spector and climate change scientist Mike Berners-Lee are to be included in the Ecoweek programme of events which runs from 11-20 October.

Spector is set to talk about the benefits of fermented foods, while Berners-Lee will dig deeper into the causes of climate change and what we can do about it.

Both speakers are appearing at Cedars Hall at Wells Festival of Literature’s opening weekend of 17-19 October, which overlaps with the final two days of Ecoweek.

A third speaker with green leanings is also appearing at the literature festival on Friday 24 October. He is renaturing enthusiast James Canton who will be giving advice on how to rewild the world in small ways. Even a small window box will help.

Go green and book now for three fascinating talks on how to feel better and how to do your bit to help with conservation.
