Touring production Three Acres And A Cow, a history of land rights and protest in England told in folk song, story and poetry, is coming to Sidwell Street Methodist Church on Saturday 2 August.
The production connects historical events including the Norman Conquest, Peasants’ Revolt, English Civil War and Industrial Revolution with current issues ranging from the housing crisis to food sovereignty and climate breakdown.
Billed as part-TED talk, part-history lecture, part-folk club sing-a-long and part-storytelling, it weaves a narrative thread through the radical history of England.
The title echoes a slogan used by British land reform campaigners in the 1880s, before being revived in the 1920s. It champions the idea that land ownership, rather than tenancy, is necessary for a fairer distribution of wealth.
Three Acres And A Cow is at 7pm on Saturday 2 August 2025 at Sidwell Street Methodist Church. Doors open at 6.30pm.
Tickets cost £11-18 plus booking fee and are available from the Ticket Tailor website.
The production is touring the country and will be at other Devon venues in July and August before travelling north.
