Hedgespoken is a travelling off-grid theatre project based in Devon, UK – Tom Hirons and Rima Staines have turned a beautiful old Bedford RL truck into a theatre and a home.

We have a new website – this site isn’t maintained any longer, although the links should work. See what we’re up to and join the adventure at the new Hedgespoken website.

As of Summer 2017, we are on the road, living and travelling in the beautiful Hedgespoken truck, which is gathering much attention along the way. For all the latest pictures and news, take a look at the Hedgespoken facebook page and the website.

Here you’ll find various pictures of the truck (a 1966 Bedford RL, once of the Auxiliary Fire Service, now a travelling story-wagon, theatre-stage and our home…)
