Knaresborough Rotary Club and History Wardrobe present:
A LIFE IN BOOKS & FASHION
by Lucy Adlington
Join Yorkshire writer and dress historian Lucy Adlington for a glimpse behind the scenes of her vibrant and unique career.
Since her earliest performance singing nursery rhymes at a Skegness talent show, Lucy found the stage irresistible. She has woven together her love of theatre with a passion for fashion and endless curiosity for stories from the past. Lucy’s ‘History Wardrobe’ presentations have delighted audiences for 25 years. Her last two books were both New York Times bestsellers.
Wouldn’t you love to know how it all came about… and about hilarious happenings backstage?
Lucy’s brand-new talk will feature snapshots from across the decades, lively anecdotes and a fabulous array of original garments from her costume collection.
Friday 20th March 2026
7.00pm (doors open at 6.30pm)
Tickets: £12.00 (purchased in advance)
There will be a bar to purchase drinks
In support of Rotary International Charities
