SUMMARY:Afternoon Tea with Richard Vobes & Julia Saturday 18th April
DESCRIPTION:Afternoon Tea with Richard Vobes & Julia Saturday 18th April 2026 at Hope\n\nJoin us for a relaxed and engaging afternoon with Richard Vobes and the lovely Julia as they share stories\, insights\, and exciting updates from their latest adventure. Richard will be reading extracts from his new book\, along with entertaining anecdotes from his life and work. They’ll also be giving an update on how life is unfolding for them as they embark on their latest project — moving towards living off-grid. This promises to be a warm and informal gathering with plenty of conversation\, laughter\, and good company. \nEvent Details \nTime: 2:00pm – 4:00pm\nTickets: £20 non members\, £16 Hope members\n(please note there are limited spaces available so early booking is recommended) \nYour ticket includes \nUnlimited tea and coffee\nA selection of finger sandwiches\nHomemade savoury bites\nDelicious cakes and sweet treats \nBook Signing \nRichard’s new book Biggleswick: The Town That Wouldn’t Comply will be available to purchase on the day for £18\, and there will be an opportunity to have your copy personally signed by Richard. \nBiggleswick: The Town That Wouldn’t Comply \nFaced with a plethora of anti-human policies metered out by a tyrannical town council\, the people of the English market town of Biggleswick\, come together to work out how they might tackle the ongoing erosion of their rights and the escalating surveillance and interference in their lives. When a travelling truth teller delivers a compelling speech at the community theatre\, the locals are roused into action to devise a plan to reclaim their town’s authority and reject the accepted diktats that both the government and the local councillors insist are a necessary sacrifice for the sustainability of not only their town\, but the world as a whole. \nWhile this is a novel and all characters and organisations fictitious\, with any similarity to those with the same name purely coincidental\, the story mirrors the crisis of today. For authority’s continual encroachment into people’s lives has made life a struggle for many. Common sense and critical thinking is desperately lacking. Where\, for example\, is the logic in attributing swaths of agricultural land for solar panels one the one hand and then experimenting with sun-dimming technology to fend off man-made global warming on the other? \nThe author sincerely believes that should one town be brave enough to stand up against the these absurd ideas and damaging policies\, assert their authority to the public servants\, then with the rest of the world watching via social media\, others might follow\, instigating a huge change for the betterment of mankind.
