Description
Join Barnsley-born author Pete Brown for a discussion about his recent book, Clubland: How the Working Men’s Club Shaped Britain. Named as a BBC Radio 4 book of the week, Brown’s enlightening, affectionate and intoxicating history of the British institution of Working Men’s Clubs traces a path from its founding by a teetotal minister, to its heyday, when more than 7 million Brits were members. Join us for a warm-hearted and entertaining evening, where our lively guide will take you on a fascinating journey, exploring the untold story of an often-misunderstood cultural phenomenon. *Tickets are non-refundable. **Please detail any accessibility requirements, including BSL requests, on your booking form.
