Day of book events in perfect historical setting
The National Trust hopes its visitors will be sitting comfortably during their visit on Saturday April 1 to Nunnington Hall.
It is hosting a special day with a historical theme. The literary events are organised as part of Ryedale Book Festival’s programme.
The day has been designed to appeal to anyone who enjoys books, reading and history.
Laura Kennedy from National Trust said: “We are extremely excited and proud to collaborate with the Ryedale Book Festival and to host such a special literary event at Nunnington Hall. The day’s activities will offer something for all ages.”
There will be the chance to hear the bestselling writer of historical fiction, Sophia Tobin, discussing her latest novel The Vanishing and her day-job in the library of the Worshipful Company of Goldsmiths in London.
The Vanishing is a story of intrigue, revenge and betrayal and perfect reading for fans of Wuthering Heights and Jane Eyre. Copies of her Gothic thriller, set in a manor house on the moors of North Yorkshire, will be available to buy. + SEND US A LIST OF YOUR TOP FIVE FAVOURITE BOOKS TO NEWSDESK@ JPRESS.CO.UK Interactive storystelling session with illustrator and writer Leigh Hodgkinson Director of the festival Sarah Tyson said: “We are delighted to be launching this year’s programme at Nunnington Hall. “It really is the perfect setting for a day of book events with a historical theme.” Events take place from 10.30am to 4pm.
