Join us for a special perfomance featuring one of Britain's foremost cross-cultural voices, John Agard. Experience the wonder of poetry and wordplay via an unfolding cabinet of curiosities of objects relating to Patrick Brontë and England's colonial past. John will also read from his latest collection,
The Coming of the Little Green Man.
'One of the most eloquent contemporary poets - rich in literary and cultural allusion, yet as direct as a voice in the bus queue.'

Books will be available to purchase and John will be happy to sign your copy.
