Debate the threat to rural skills - 22 May 2009, 4pm

Join Emma Bridgewater, Hugh Peachey, Mike Moody and Daniel Butler at the Hay Festival for the 2009 Country Living Magazine discussion: 'Thatcher, Farrier, Cooper ... Call Centre Worker?'

Rural skills are under threat, and without training for a new generation of craftspeople, the traditions we treasure will exist only in tales of days gone by. Chaired by countryside writer Daniel Butler, who talks to Hugh Peachey, gypsy wagon restorer and stonemason, Mike Moody, chair of the National Heritage Training Group, and entrepreneur Emma Bridgewater.

  1. I find that there are many people like myself that would love to learn a lot of these crafts and skills but the facilities don't exist. I'm from Oxfordshire and there is nowhere I could go to learn them.
