An Evening ‘On the Road’ with Rob Cowen

Join us for an evening of discovery with award-winning writer Rob Cowen as he takes us on an unforgettable exploration of Britain’s great highway. Hailed one of the UK’s most original voices on nature, places and people, expect to be captivated by stories from and about Rob’s latest, genre-defying book The North Road.

At the heart of this book, written in kaleidoscopic prose is the A1; The Great North Road. A 400-mile multiplicity of ancient trackway, Roman road, pilgrim path, coach route and motorway that has run like a backbone through Britain for the last 2,000 years.

In this profoundly personal offering, Cowen follows this ghost road from beginning to end on a journey through history, place, people and time. Weaving his own histories and memories with the layered landscapes he moves through, this is the story of an age, of coming to terms with time past and time passing, and the roads that lead us to where we find ourselves.

£20.00 – £30.00
Doors open at 7pm
