Saturday 5th July
11am — 12pm
Join us for a very special book brunch with award-winning poet and author Jo Bell, the UK's inaugural Canal Laureate for the Canal & River Trust and The Poetry Society from 2013 – 2015.
​
Jo will be introducing us to her new book, Boater: A Life on England's Waterways, a lyrical memoir journeying through the past and present of our historic canals.
​
Blending personal narrative and history, Boater reveals the key moments, cultures and communities that have been built along the canal banks – and reflects on how the waterways have been the lifeblood of our country’s development.
​
Tickets are £10 and includes a hot or cold soft drink and a selection of croissants, pastries and pancakes with a choice of toppings.
​
A book and ticket option is also available for just £20, which includes a copy of Boater (£16.99), signed by Jo on the day.
