Three Acres And A Cow connects the Norman Conquest and Peasants’ Revolt to contemporary issues via the Enclosures and Industrial Revolution, drawing a compelling narrative through the people’s history of England in folk song, story and poem.


Come and share in these tales as they have been shared for generations

We're delighted to be bringing 3 Acres + A Cow to the Hippodrome as we work to bring opportunities to see professional performing arts into our community.

 

A history of land rights and protest in folk song and story, the show connects the Norman Conquest and Peasants’ Revolt with current issues like the housing crisis, reparations, climate breakdown and food sovereignty via the Enclosures, English Civil War and Industrial Revolution, drawing a compelling narrative through the radical people’s history of England in folk song, stories and poems.

Part TED talk, part history lecture, part folk club sing-a-long, part storytelling session… Come and share in these tales as they have been shared for generations.

​​

Doors 6.30pm with the show starting promptly at 7.00pm. We will finish around 9.45pm with one interval.

"Everyone should see this show" George Monbiot

 

​​"I think about this show all the time. It has totally changed the way I think about colonialism, direct action and English nationalism. Thinking about it today, four years after seeing the show, it's clear it was a life changing event for me." Monique

​

"The history lesson I’ve always wanted. Thank you for a very entertaining/life changing evening. I’ll be looking at the land and listening to folk songs in a very different way” Emily
