We are delighted to announce that we will be hosting an informal dinner with one of the headline speakers at our Reading for Wellbeing Conference, Pulitzer and Orange Prize-winner Marilynne Robinson (Home, Gilead), on Monday 16th May, 7.30pm, at Blackburne House (Blackburne Place, off Hope Street, Liverpool, L8 7PE).

The two course dinner, with wine, costs only £25 per person.

‘I’m not saying that you’re actually dead if you haven’t read Marilynne Robinson, but I honestly couldn’t say you’re fully alive.’  Brian Appleyard, The Times

This will not only be a fantastic opportunity to meet other delegates before the Conference on the 17th, but will give those who are unable to attend a chance to hear Marilynne speak informally about her life and work in a relaxed atmosphere.

Places at the dinner cost only £25, which includes a two course dinner and wine.

There are only a limited number of places available. Please contact Claire Speer if you would like to book a place: clairespeer@thereader.org.uk / 0151 794 2830
