Whose Green and Pleasant land?

Jon us at Leith Hill Place for a free celebration of place and people with music, drama, movement and the spoken word.

  • Booking essential
  • Admission applies

This community-centred celebration brings to life the old and current issues of land access, the enclosure acts and how they continue to effect us to this day.

This is a contemporary response to the 1938 pageant written by Vaughan Williams and EM Forster, calling on the community to protect the precious Leith Hill and the Surrey Hills natural environments.
