Drawn to the Garden

Caroline Quentin talks to Tamsin Westhorpe - Live streamed to Bar Hill Library

A livecast from the Hay Festival, delivered by the British Library’s Living Knowledge

The winter months don’t mean an outdoor space can’t be a source of comfort and solace, as Caroline Quentin argues in this event. The actress, known for her roles in TV shows such as Men Behaving Badly, Bridgerton and Jonathan Creek, is also the author of Drawn to the Garden, a collection of stories, advice, recipes and poems about her love for gardening.

This is a free event, but there are limited spaces, so please book either in the library, or by emailing BarHill.Referral@cambridgeshire.gov.uk
