Wilding (Great Big Green Week Preview Screening)

Join us in Great Big Green Week for a special preview screening of WILDING, followed by a live panel with local experts.

Based on Isabella Tree’s best-selling book by the same title, WILDING tells the incredible story of a young couple that bets on nature for the future of their failing, four-hundred-year-old estate. They set to work with their groundbreaking vision, battling entrenched tradition and major forces along the way, daring to place the fate of their farm in the hands of nature. Ripping down the fences, they set the land back to the wild and entrust its recovery to a motley mix of tame and wild animals. It is the beginning of a grand experiment that will become one of the most significant rewilding experiments in Europe and beyond.
