About

Bethany Handley.

Monmouth-based award-winning writer, author, and disability activist Bethany Handley will talk about her life, work and new book, My Body is a Meadow.

The event will also include a performance by The Kingfisher's Chorus.

My Body is a Meadow: Finding Freedom in the Outdoors
A perspective-shifting journey across Britain exploring our right to access nature.

Today, nearly one in four people are Disabled in the UK. Public rights of way are blocked in 32,000 places across England and Wales. My Body is a Meadow writes into this landscape. Passionate and political, it delivers a galvanising call for us to rethink how we live among nature and each other. Lyrical and personal, Bethany Handley invites readers to wheel alongside her as she explores ableism, climate justice and what nature means to her.

Thu 4 Jun 2026, 7pm.
