Following the rip-roaring success of Amanda Owen's book, Celebrating the Seasons, which was one of the top ten bestselling non-fiction titles of 2021, the newly updated paperback is now on sale and Amanda is taking to the stage in a brand new tour of the same name. In this heartwarming, frank and funny show, hosted by Peg Alexander and Jeremy Buxton, Amanda will share stories from her remarkable life as a shepherdess in North Yorkshire. Accompanied by Amanda's beautiful photography, the show will provide an insight into the realities of farming life and raising a family of nine children and a flock of 1000 sheep on a 2000 acre hilltop farm. Tickets for forthcoming November and December dates are now available via the theatre box offices and you can also find all the theatre links on Amanda's website.
Our Farm Next Door: Amanda, Clive and Kids - new More4 series
We're thrilled to announce a new ob-doc series from Leeds-based Wise Owl Films following ‘Yorkshire Shepherdess’ Amanda Owen and her family as they renovate a derelict farmhouse. Our Farm Next Door: Amanda, Clive and Kids charts the Owens’ journey to breathe life back into a derelict neighbouring property they bought to plan for the family’s future. The series sees Amanda, Clive and their nine children work with a team of local tradespeople to slowly bring their ambitious vision for the farmhouse - known locally as Anty John’s - to life, tackling the changing seasons and challenging elements along the way, as well as getting to grips with the nature of restoring a listed property in a remote location. Cameras also follow Amanda as she digs deep into the farmhouse’s past and reveals the fascinating part its former owners played in local history. The series was commissioned by Channel 4 in a deal secured via Jo Cantello of Wolfsong Media, Amanda Owen's agent. TX dates to be announced soon.
