Adam Henson, farmer and television presenter, will be joining us here in the shop on Wednesday 15th June at 7pm to talk about his new memoir, Like Farmer, Like Son.

Adam is most well known for his work on the BBC series Countryfile, and his newest work explores his life as a farmer, and the decisions and people that led him to where he is today. For the first time, he details the history of his family, and the events that took the Henson’s from a life of acting on stage and in film, all the way to the rolling hills of Gloucestershire.

As well as talking about his life, Adam will be answering questions and signing books after the event. Tickets are £5, and are available in store, or online at this address:

Feeling stressed? Thankfully, we’ve got the solution; very soon, Ruby Wax will be here to talk about her work, as well as her latest book, A Mindfulness Guide for the Frazzled. In it, Ruby explores her new, more accessible theory of mindfulness, and how it doesn’t necessarily need to be hard work in order to be rewarding.

Ruby, who has numerous qualifications in psychology, counselling and cognitive therapy, has long been on the mindfulness scene, having written another book, Sane New World, back in 2013.

The event will take place in St Mary’s Church here in Chipping Norton at 6:30 on Wednesday 13th January. Tickets are £8, and are currently available in the shop.
