From travelling magic lantern lectures to currently helping new people get a foot on the farm ladder with their 30+ tenant farms, Hampshire County Council has been supporting farming and industry improvements for 130 years. This talk sheds light on the history of Hampshire’s Farm School, the creation of council farms, and more.

I spent around 20 years working full-time in the museums & heritage sector before becoming entirely freelance.
Since 2020 I have had a portfolio career, working mainly freelance delivering engagement, learning, interpretation and communication for clients across several sectors. My clients are museums and more, so I use this as the name for my work.
I’m based in Hampshire and can also work from the Scottish Borders. Please note due to travel costs, I’m unlikely to be able to travel for more than an hour from Romsey or Winchester in Hampshire, or Galashiels in the Scottish Borders.
