Patrick Barkham on Roger Deakin

Roger Deakin wrote the nature writing classics Waterlog and Wildwood. But before he painstakingly restored his ancient farmhouse on the edge of Mellis common in Suffolk, he was also a maverick ad-man and seller of stripped-pine furniture. Later he became an inspirational teacher, filmmaker, music promoter and eco-warrior. Today, he lives on as the patron saint of wild swimming.
Patrick Barkham brings alive this great romantic in an illustrated talk at the Corn Hall in Diss ,and tells stories of Roger and his generation – arguably the most distinctive that ever lived.

Time: 19:30 BST
