An evening with… Kate Barron, The Wilderness Mum

An Evening with Kate Barron – The Wilderness Mum
Tuesday 17th February | Bookish, Crickhowell
Join us for an inspiring evening with Kate Barron, aka the Wilderness Mum, as she shares her extraordinary story of courage, resilience, and adventure.
Most people believe the wild years end when motherhood begins. For Kate, they were just beginning. Trading her classroom in London for a backpack, she journeyed from the jungles of Colombia to a windswept Scottish clifftop, where a chance encounter with Chris Lewis, a homeless ex-paratrooper walking the UK’s coastline, transformed her life.
Together, they embraced a life of adventure — living in a tent for years, raising hundreds of thousands of pounds for charity, and navigating pregnancy and new motherhood entirely outdoors. Wilderness Mum is a love letter to the wild, a testament to the human spirit, and an inspiring guide to living life on your own terms.
Kate will talk about her incredible journey, share stories from her adventures, and answer audience questions, offering an unforgettable evening of inspiration and insight.
