Saturday 8 June opens at 10.30am with marine biologist Dr Helen Scales talking about her new book What the Wild Sea Can Be. During this fascinating talk Helen will explain the ocean’s deep history and what lessons we can learn about conservation.

There is so much to discover from Helen’s talk and tickets for this event will be offered as part of the beer naming competition prize.
