Celebrate the county of Lancashire and discover Britain's bypassed towns with travel writer, Chris Moss - hotpot supper included!
About this Event

Join us at Leigh Library for a sociable evening with travel writer and author Chris Moss.

Chris will discuss his book Lancashire:Exploring the Historic County that made the Modern World, exploring how Lancashire helped shape modern life—from transport and leisure to the arts—while also reflecting on his personal connection to the county and what it means to return home after years away.

Chris will also celebrate the release of Where Tourists Seldom Tread:Postcards from Bypassed Britain, inviting us to move away from the preference for major cities and rural idylls and to consider the hidden treasures of Britain's bypassed towns.

Ticket includes a hotpot supper served by Hunnibunz Catering, tea and coffee will also be available.

Waterstones Wigan will have both books for sale on the evening and Chris will be happy to sign copies.
