3 Acres and A Cow
A history of land rights and protest in folk song and story. Drawing a compelling narrative through the radical people’s history of England in folk song, stories and poems, the show connects the Norman Conquest and Peasants’ Revolt with current issues like the housing crisis, reparations, climate breakdown and food sovereignty via the Enclosures, English Civil War and Industrial Revolution.
Doors 6.30pm with the show starting promptly at 7pm. We will finish around 9.45pm with one interval.

Here is our beautiful mural
To us, it tells a story but we trust it will also speak to the hearts of those who see it. We wanted to share something of who we are, to offer something beautiful and inspirational to our community.
We hope that it will help us make connections and perhaps have conversations we’ve not yet had. People have stopped to admire it and ask questions, people who didn't know who we were or anything about Unitarians. May the conversations continue.
A massive thank you to the artists for their outstanding work, for the way they also made time to be part of a bigger conversation, and who got behind our vision and created something that will outlive us all … their talent is breath-taking.
Come and visit us, it’s even better in reality … all are welcome!
