A black and white image, showing a small but packed theatre, with the point of view within the audience. On the stage, 2 people are standing in front of some pages strung on a line, one of them is playing a guitar, the other is singing

3 Acres + A Cow 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, drawing a compelling narrative through the radical people’s history of England in folk song, stories and poems.

Part TED talk, part history lecture, part folk club sing-a-long, part storytelling session. Come and share in these tales, as they have been shared for generations, sing, be proud and understand your homeland from a perspective you may have never considered before.

Location: Devizes Corn Exchange, The Market Place, SN10 1HS.

Reviews of the Show…

‘Everyone should see this show’ George Monbiot

 ‘Playing to a sell-out audience, ‘Three Acres And A Cow’ managed to both educate and entertain. This is an important narrative for our times and needs to be shared.’  Mark Richards

‘Your work is so needed, thank you for educating me and so many others about the history of land and struggle in this country, it’s woken me up to the politics of the ground beneath my feet.’ Hannah Lewis

‘This should be a national staple, a great antidote to history written by the victors. It will teach you to see the past and present of England in a whole new light. Ru Litherland, Organiclea


‘The history they didn’t teach you at school – this should be on the curriculum’ Loz Samuels
