About James

James Lawrence, AKA Man About Country, is a storyteller, adventurer and natural historian. For over five years he’s led walks around some of Britain’s most fascinating places, inspiring people to discover the country like never before. James is fresh off the Essex Ways: a 400km walking adventure around his home county to discover its stories, people and places. As a Cultural Ambassador for Essex, he set out to bust the negative media stereotypes and prove that Essex is one of the most fascinating counties in England. After a sell-out storytelling tour around Essex, a film, and his recently launched book "The Essex Ways: A Walker's Guide to the Stories and Legends of England's Most Fascinating County", he is dedicated to celebrating Essex by sharing its stories far and wide.
For this evening only, James will be joined by acclaimed folk musician Rebecca Leek.
