An Evening with Lorraine Kelly

About the event

The Huddersfield Literature Festival presents a special pre-Festival event with the much-loved TV presenter Lorraine Kelly. Join us to celebrate the paperback publication of her uplifting and heartwarming Sunday Times bestselling debut novel, The Island Swimmer.

The event will take place on International Women’s Day.
