Cream Tea and Meet Mark Bridgeman

Mark will be talking all about The Nearly Man, an amazing true tale about a man who did everything, nearly.

The Nearly Man tells the story of one man's adventures through some of  the last century's lesser- known conflicts, and his encounters with the  famous thinkers, writers and soldiers of his time. But it also shows how  his exploits impacted the people around him. Francis Metcalfe  almost became one of Britain's notable war heroes, poets, writers,  adventurers, businessmen and criminals. If Metcalfe had succeeded, he  would doubtless be immortalised in history. Instead, his incredible  adventures through some of history's forgotten events had become lost in  time, until his story was painstakingly unearthed for this book.

Our Cream Tea events are cosy, comfy and your ticket includes a drink and a cream tea, the scone homemade earlier that day.
