New British Rural presents: Derek vs Derek

Join us at The George Inn for a special screening of the acclaimed documentary Derek vs Derek, as part of the New British Rural film series.

Set in the Devon countryside, the film follows two neighbouring farmers who happen to share the same first name—but little else. Derek Banbury has spent decades building a successful dairy herd, while Derek Gow has become one of Britain’s best-known rewilders, transforming farmland into thriving habitat for wildlife.

Warm, funny and thought-provoking, Derek vs Derek explores two very different visions for the British countryside and asks what the future of farming might look like. Whether you’re passionate about food, farming, conservation or simply enjoy a great documentary, it’s a fascinating watch.

We look forward to welcoming you for an evening of film, food and conversation in the heart of the Hampshire countryside.
