Exmoor Dark Skies Festival Walk & Talk: When the Sky Falls

WALK DETAILS

The walk departs from outside Seven Fables at 4pm, so please arrive in good time to check in. We’ll then head into the woods with Jade to find a suitable place to sit and hear her in conversation with Davina Jelley of Seven Fables. This will be followed by any questions you may have and book signing opportunity.

The walk is timed so that we will be heading back at dusk so it’s important that you bring a torch. The shop will be open on our return should you wish to purchase extra copies of Jade’s book.

A walking fitness is required as there is a slight ascent into the woods and we kindly request NO DOGS. It’s Exmoor so, dress for all weathers as we still walk if wet. You are welcome to bring a mat or lightweight folding chair, alongside a flask of hot chocolate should you desire!

Jade Angeles Fitton is an author, journalist and poet with a special interest in nature writing, cultural history and folklore. Her critically acclaimed debut, Hermit: A Memoir of Finding Freedom in a Wild Place, was published in 2023, and her other writing has appeared in the Guardian, The Times, The Spectator, Vogue, and The New Statesman. She has been shortlisted for The Moth Poetry Prize and holds an Arts Council grant for her fiction. She lives in rural Devon with her husband, and Ghost Dog.
