Bethany Handley 'My Body is a Meadow: Finding Freedom in the Outdoors'

  • Jun 8
  • 1 min read

A perspective shifting journey across Britain exploring our right to access nature.


Today, nearly one in four people are Disabled in the UK. Public rights of way are blocked in 32,000 places across England and Wales. My Body is a Meadow writes into this landscape. Passionate and political, it delivers a galvanising call for us to rethink how we live among nature and each other. Lyrical and personal, Bethany Handley invites readers to wheel alongside her as she explores ableism, climate justice and what nature means to her.



Join Bethany at upcoming readings, workshops and speaking events across the UK and beyond.


Bethany brings warmth, insight, and energy to every room she enters—whether she’s reading poetry, leading a workshop, or speaking on disability justice and access to nature. Her events invite conversation, connection, and change, grounded in lived experience and lyrical storytelling. From literary festivals to community gatherings, Bethany creates space for voices that are too often left out.
