‘Imagine you could hold a baby hare and bottle-feed it. Imagine that it lived under your roof and lolloped around your bedroom at night, drumming on the duvet cover when it wanted your attention. Imagine that, over two years later, it still ran in from the fields when you called it and snoozed in your house for hours on end.’ – Chloe Dalton

After a successful career as a political advisor in Westminster, Chloe Dalton’s life had very little to do with the natural world—until the lockdown brought her back to the countryside of her childhood. There, she discovered a seemingly abandoned baby hare and made the life-changing decision to bring it home and care for it.

Her bestselling and critically acclaimed book, Raising Hare, is the story of that transformative experience, and of the extraordinary relationship that developed between human and hare. 

Join Chloe live at the Kiln Theatre, where she will share how caring for animals can rekindle our love for wildlife, and teach us the value of slowing down. She will also answer your questions in the audience Q&A.
