Konnie Huq, who was Blue Peter’s longest running female presenter, will be on hand to sign copies of her new children’s book, Cookie and the Most Annoying Boy in the World. This is a great opportunity to get some personalised Christmas presents bought early, particularly for daughters and granddaughters!

We will once again have the fabulous Vivian Archer from Newham Books on hand to sell you the very best science books by or about women. The book stall will be available from 6:30pm until the performance starts at about 7:30pm.

Lobby doors open at 6.30pm for the book stall, book signing and cash bar. Auditorium doors open at about 7.00pm. The performance will begin at 7.30pm and will run until approximately 9.30pm.
