About this Event

Shaun Usher is a literary phenomenon - the appointed custodian of letters, lists and now, diaries.

His book Letters of Note not only became a huge bestseller, it evolved into Letters Live featuring A-list actors reading out the letters on iconic stages in London, New York, LA, and Venice.

This year, he took it to Glastonbury with Benedict Cumberbatch, Simon Pegg, Andrew Scott, and James Norton to name a few.

Whitby is his next stop!

Diaries of Note is a daily celebration of the diary—one of the most intimate, therapeutic, and revealing forms of writing imaginable—and a regular opportunity to see how people have attempted to memorialise and make sense of their lives throughout the ages.

Join him in conversation with historian and author, Lucinda Hawksley, featuring actor Miriam Margolyes giving very special diary readings.
