Poet Lynn Pegler takes us on a fascinating illustrated tour ‘Around Cheshire in 100 Poems and Pictures’, performing lively monologues and verse from her new book, inspired by the county’s intriguing people, places and history. The poems explore the culture of Cheshire and the stories which form part of the county's DNA. The subject of the poems is wide and varied, and you'll find some little known facts and humourous moments within Lynn's witty, playful and engaging verse.

The event will be held in the first floor gallery in Norton Priory's contemporary visitor centre, with views across Cheshire's most important monastic remains. The gallery can be reached by lift or stairs and there is free car parking in front of the building. There will be an opportunity to purchase signed copies of the book during the evening.
