Presentation by Paul Kingsnorth, author of Real England

Discussion chaired by Jim Hawkins, BBC Radio Shropshire

What is the future for England—and Shropshire in particular?

Join the debate on Real England, Real Shropshire.

Friday 13 March, 6.30 for 7.00pm

Methodist Church, Church Stretton

Hosted by South Shropshire Campaign to Protect Rural England
