The Wessex Regionalist Movement

The Wessex Regionalist Movement is a cultural and political initiative aimed at promoting the unique identity and heritage of the Wessex region in southwest England. It seeks to celebrate local traditions, history, and landscapes while advocating for greater autonomy and recognition within the broader UK. Inspired by the literature of the 19th-century writer Thomas Hardy, the movement emphasizes regional pride and community empowerment, often calling for policies that support local governance, culture, and the economy. Ultimately, it aims to foster a sense of belonging and solidarity among the people of Wessex.
