LAUNCH OF LITERARY NIGHT AT THE BRENTHAM CLUB

Do you love books?  Or, perhaps you’re a budding author in the making?  If so, you’ll love the launch of our new Literary Night, starting in October.

The first event An Evening with Andrew Wilson is on Friday 21st October. 

The event is free and doors open at 7pm for a 7.30 pm start.

Award winning biographer and novelist, Andrew will talk about his writing life, including working on the biographies of Sylvia Plath, Alexander McQueen and also his forthcoming new biography about Marilyn Monroe.
