9 July – Our Land – Film
OUR LAND dares to tread where few have trespassed before, asking the timely question of who has the right to roam in the English countryside?
The UK is a wild and beautiful place, but the vast majority of it is off limits to the general public, with 92% of land and 97% of all rivers in England not legally accessible. At the same time, it is a landscape shaped by centuries of inheritance and tradition, with land held and cared for by families across multiple generations.
OUR LAND takes us to the heart of the ‘Right to Roam’ movement as it embarks on a provocative trail of mass trespass, campaigning and education, while also exploring landowners’ concerns around environmental protection and the danger such widespread access could pose to a landscape already under threat.

Guy Shrubsole – Author of ‘Who Owns England’ & ‘The Lie of the Land’
Nick Hayes – Author of ‘The Book of Trespass’
