Valentine’s – The Age of Innocence
Valentine's Event- The Age of Innocence
Thursday 16th February, 1pm
The Lauries Reading Room, The Lauries Centre, Birkenhead
Get Into Reading Wirral is holding a special Valentine's event this coming Thursday to help fund The Reader Organisation's ongoing work with Looked After Children in the area.
A very romantic reading from Edith Wharton's classic story of passion and heartbreak, The Age of Innocence, will certainly put you in the mood for love. Alongside reading, there will also be a special showing of the 1993 Martin Scorsese film of the novel, starring Daniel Day Lewis and Michelle Pfeiffer. There'll be a chance to enter a raffle and win some very special love-themed prizes.
Get Into Reading group members can get their tickets, which cost £2, from their group facilitator and can pay on the door on arrival at The Lauries. Refreshments will be included in the ticket price (but tissues won't - so it's highly advised you bring your own, because things will get emotional.)
