A future England, and Jake and his dog Jet are trying to reach Scotland. But nobody leaves England now, and there’s a border, and guards with guns, and the government has eyes everywhere.

Come and hear about Jake, Jet and the Outwalkers. And come and discuss what you think might happen in the future. And in case that all sounds too stressful, come and drink tea, and eat cake, because everything feels better with tea and cake.
