Join us for a special event with Chloe Dalton, author of Raising Hare at Waterstones York on 5th June at 7pm! About the book, Raising Hare Imagine you could hold a baby hare and bottle-feed it. Imagine that it lived under your roof and lolloped around your bedroom at night, drumming on the duvet cover when it wanted your attention. Imagine that, over two years later, it still ran in from the fields when you called it and snoozed in your house for hours on end. This happened to me. When Chloe, a city-dwelling professional with a high-pressure job, finds a newly born hare, endangered, alone and no bigger than her palm, she is compelled to give it a chance at survival - despite being the least likely caregiver to this wild animal. Raising Hare is the story of their journey together. It chronicles an extraordinary relationship between human and animal, rekindling our sense of awe towards nature and wildlife. Their improbable bond of trust reminds us that the most remarkable experiences, inspiring the most hope, often arise when we least expect them. This edition includes a moving new chapter. Accessing our shop: Doors open from 18.45 and the event begins at 19.00 Ticketing: £6 General Admission £14 Book and Ticket.

Autumn Peltier is Anishinaabe-kwe and a member of the Wikwemikong First Nation and an internationally recognized advocate for clean water. She is a water protector and has been called a “water warrior”. Peltier addressed world leaders at the UN General Assembly on the issue of water protection at the age of thirteen in 2018. Peltier lives on the Unceded Anishinawbe Territory on Manitoulin Island in northern Ontario. She began her advocacy on behalf of water at the age of eight and was inspired by her great aunt, Josephine Mandamin. Peltier gained national and international notice when at a meeting of the Assembly of First Nations she presented Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau with a copper water pot and although she did not have time to deliver her prepared speech she confronted Trudeau on his record on water protection and his support for pipelines. She has attended international events such as the Children’s Climate Conference in Sweden. In April, 2019 the Anishinabek Nation honoured her and raised her up to be the Chief Water Commissioner in her great aunties role. Autumn has travelled far and wide to carry the message of the importance of clean water and the Sacredness of Water. She seemingly came out of the womb already set on her path: to advocate for people’s right to clean water, the rights of water itself, and the political recognition of the interdependency of the two.

This masterpiece is known for its bold and expressive style, making it the perfect inspiration for participants to unleash their creativity. Attendees will have the opportunity to indulge in a sip & paint experience, with a wine glass in one hand and a paintbrush in the other. No prior painting experience is necessary, as all art supplies, including paint, brushes, canvas, and an apron, will be provided. A practicing artist will be on hand to offer guidance, although participants are encouraged to venture off the beaten path. To further immerse guests in the experience, a themed playlist will set the mood. It's important to note that the ticket price does not include a drink, but a wide range of beverages can be purchased at the bar.
