People of the Hop Harvest is a project by photographer and photographic artist Paul Ligas funded by the Arts Council of England.
People of the Hop Harvest gives a face and a voice to seasonal farm workers across the UK, through photographs by Paul Ligas and poetry by Sara-Jane Arbury and Beth Calverley, of some of the seasonal workers at Townend Hop Farm near Bosbury.
Throughout summertime, you can discover these people and explore their place in our rural communities.
There is also a free poetry workshop for adults on Saturday 23 July at the Ledbury venue. Run by poet Vicky Hampton from 2:30pm – 4:00pm.
Contact paul@paulligas.com to book your place (numbers are limited).
