Event: ‘Life’s Better with a Book’ – a Readers’ Day
Life's Better With a Book
... in partnership with The Brindley Arts Centre
Saturday 12th June, 9.30am - 4.00pm
Join The Reader Organisation’s Jane Davis, Brian Nellist, Angela Macmillan and many others, for a day of interactive workshops that explore the ways that literature can make us feel good. Engage with some familiar favourites in Dickens, Austen and Wordsworth, and discover some new writers, as we unearth why reading and writing occupies a unique role in our lives: helping us to understand self and other; personal experiences past, present, and future; and uncountable unknowns. "Can hard times really make us stronger?" "Can we recover moments of supreme happiness from times past?" The Reader Organisation staff consider these big questions and more, all inspired by the reading experience.
Tickets: £20, £15 Student/OAP, £12 Leisure Card Holders. A delicious lunch is included in the price.
