RICHARD COLLETT: ALONG THE BORDERS
The Church On The Green, Budleigh Salterton, EX9 6RW
Sunday 27th September 2026
How do borders divide us and how do they quietly bring us together?
Join Devon-based travel writer Richard Collett for a fascinating journey through the UK’s borderlands. Travelling by bus, boat, train and foot, he meets the people who
live on the edges of nations - nationalists and pub landlords, town criers, reenactors and refugee support workers - each shaping ideas of identity in unexpected ways.
Far from being fixed lines on a map, Collett shows borders as living, shifting spaces
where cultures meet, clash and merge.
