Don't the opportunity to meet a literary genius face-to-face! Rudyard Kipling himself (aka Geoff Hutchinson) will take us back to the year 1933 and relate tales from his eventful life through his books and verse. Geoff is a local historian and often portrays the author at the great man's Sussex home, Batemans. Geoff has a tremendous enthusiasm for local history and the colourful characters associated with it and has built a reputation as a lively and competent speaker. Informative, entertaining and moving. Tickets are limited, so book soon! |
