# Event Details - **Event Name**: Kingsbury Coffee Morning: Memoir from Mugsborough - **Event Start and End Date**: Tue, 12 May, 2026 at 11:00 am – Tue, 12 May, 2026 at 12:00 pm (+01:00) - **Event Description**: Memoir from Mugsborough - a personal look at Robert Tressell and his book "The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists".About this EventWell-known Brent local historian, Philip Grant, takes us back to his home town of "Mugsborough", as it was called in the novel written in and about the town during the first decade of the 20th century. The book tells the story of life as experienced by the author and his workmates (the unwitting philanthropists of the title), when men in the building trade earned barely enough to live on, and if you were out of work your family could go hungry. It is also the fascinating story of Tressell himself (not his real surname), of places in the town that still appear exactly as they were in the novel, and how the book came to be published, but only after Tressell's early death.The National Year of Reading 2026 is an ideal time to rediscover "The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists". It is a book everyone should read at least once in their life, and if you have not read it before, this richly illustrated talk will encourage you to read it now, either in its original text or in its modern graphic novel format. https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events4/banners/6a13d430-e401-11f0-b1e5-fb8d04c0193d-rimg-w523-h740-dc5f492f-gmir.jpg https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events6/banners/6a6639f0-e401-11f0-b1e5-fb8d04c0193d-rimg-w1200-h466-dcffffff-gmir.jpg - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/london/kingsbury-coffee-morning-memoir-from-mugsborough/100001934992928939 - **Event Categories**: art, literary-art - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: GBP ## Event venue details - **city**: London - **state**: EN - **country**: United Kingdom - **location**: Kingsbury Library - **lat**: 51.58595 - **long**: -0.2765469 - **full address**: Kingsbury Library, Kingsbury Road, London, United Kingdom ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Kingsbury Coffee Morning: Memoir from Mugsborough - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/bfa9d298b50148a09a4f49d684bfdc7c5cd429976d1299123fe80b2de95c32f0-rimg-w653-h500-dcd70536-gmir.jpg?v=1766935530 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Kingsbury Coffee Morning: Memoir from Mugsborough being held? - **A:** Kingsbury Coffee Morning: Memoir from Mugsborough takes place on Tue, 12 May, 2026 at 11:00 am to Tue, 12 May, 2026 at 12:00 pm at Kingsbury Library, Kingsbury Road, London, United Kingdom. - **Q**: Who is organizing Kingsbury Coffee Morning: Memoir from Mugsborough? - **A:** Kingsbury Coffee Morning: Memoir from Mugsborough is organized by Brent Libraries, Arts and Heritage. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
