What does brexit mean for Somerset? Tourism & The Arts

Are you are entirely clear what Brexit actually means? Are you any clearer about the impact Brexit will have on our lives, on our prospects – particularly on a personal level?

Given the uncertainty, the confusion, the increasing anxiety that’s widely felt about Brexit, the European Movement’s Mendip Branch is staging 4 public meetings to help the people of Somerset understand how the Brexit process will and is already beginning to impact us, at a grassroots level.

These public meetings will take place on consecutive Friday evenings, in September. Each meeting will examine the practical impact of Brexit on a vital segment of life in Somerset …
• on Health & Social Care ( 7th September ) at St. Peter’s Church, Shepton Mallet
• on Agriculture, Food & Our Environment ( 14th September ) at The Town Hall, Glastonbury
• on Tourism, the Arts, & Hospitality ( 21st September ) at The Hubnub Centre, Frome
• What It All Means for Somerset ( 28th September ) at St. Cuthbert’s Church, Wells

Each event will include a panel of local people who – day-to-day – are directly involved in the different sectors being put under the microscope. Amongst just some of the panelists taking part are: Anthony Gibson, formerly NFU’s Southwest Director, Ralph Lister, Chief Executive of Take Art , Richard Clothier, Managing Director of Wyke Farms Ltd. and Simon Nash, Chief Executive of The Somerset Wildlife Trust.

All are open to the public and are free-of-charge.
