Photography and Poetry Exhibition Portrays Rural Communities

Ledbury-based photographer and Chamber Member, Paul Ligas, will bring light to rural communities through the People of the Hop Harvest exhibition. This exciting event, taking place across the two counties, is a celebration of photography, poetry and art.

People of the Hop Harvest gives a face and a voice to the essential seasonal farm workers who help put food on our plates and drinks in our glasses. Throughout summertime, explore the place of seasonal farm workers in our rural communities through photography by Paul Ligas and poetry by Sara-Jane Arbury and Beth Calverley.

Including a free poetry workshop for adults on 23 July, and a photography and poetry workshop for students. To book on the adult poetry workshop, email [email protected] – spaces are limited.

All exhibitions and workshops are free of charge.
