FREYA BROMLEY: THE TIDAL YEAR

11 Oct 2024

18:30 — 19:30

The Studio, Newlyn Art Gallery

As a precursor to our fabulous Wellness Weekend Fri 18 & Sat 19 Oct, author Freya Bromley introduces her book, The Tidal Year, and talks us through the benefits of cold-water swimming for mental health.

Freya Bromley is a writer living in London. Her work explores love, loss, and healing through nature and she’s written for publications including Conde Nast Traveller, Financial Times, Lonely Planet, and National Geographic Traveller. The Tidal Year is her first book and was shortlisted for the Nero Book Awards.

“The Tidal Year is a true story about the healing power of wild swimming and the space it creates for reflection, rewilding, and hope. An exploration of grief in the modern age, it’s also a tale of loss, love, female rage, and sisterhood. I swam in every tidal pool in Britain in a year with a friend. The adventure took me from a pool hidden in the cliffs of fishing-village Polperro to the quarry lagoon of Abereiddi via Trinkie Wick where locals meet each year to give the pool wall a fresh lick of paint.”

£15, booking essential as places limited.
