Pop Up Film & Brunch Event<br />
with filmmaker Robert Golden<br />
A uniquely different event. Hosted by<br />
John and Jenny, join Robert Golden<br />
to watch two films from his series<br />
entitled ‘Savouring’. Each celebrates<br />
an endangered farming tradition<br />
practiced in Europe and <strong>the</strong> community<br />
that has sustained it. The films are an<br />
appetising treat for <strong>the</strong> eye and <strong>the</strong><br />
heart. Robert said, ‘people need to<br />
be free to live a life defined by <strong>the</strong>ir traditions ra<strong>the</strong>r than be forced to conform<br />
to what o<strong>the</strong>rs would impose for <strong>the</strong> needs of <strong>the</strong> market, politics or profits.’<br />
Very topical! After <strong>the</strong> films, everyone will adjourn to <strong>the</strong> kitchen to discuss and<br />
SHARE IN MAKING A HEARTY BRUNCH; <strong>the</strong> recipe will be prompted by one of<br />
<strong>the</strong> films. A guest chef will guide you.<br />

Minterne House has been <strong>the</strong> home of <strong>the</strong> Churchill’s and Digby’s family for <strong>the</strong><br />
last 350 years and now <strong>the</strong> seat of <strong>the</strong> 12th Lord Digby. It was rebuilt in 1905<br />
by Leonard Stokes after <strong>the</strong> previous house was destroyed by dry rot. Minterne<br />
nestles in 1,300 acres of beautiful <strong>Dorset</strong> Countryside and is described by Simon<br />
Jenkins in his book ‘England’s 1,000 Best Houses’, as a ‘Corner of Paradise’. The<br />
house contains many interesting paintings and mementos of its past residents,<br />
including <strong>the</strong> very special Churchill Tapestries and artefacts from HMS Trafalgar.<br />
The tour will be followed by lunch in <strong>the</strong> dining room.<br />
The two course lunch includes a glass of wine and soft drinks.<br />
