We are absolutely thrilled to be joined by Dr Kerri Andrews and her fascinating book Wanderers: A History of Women Walking.

‘This book describes ten women over the past three hundred years who have found walking essential to their sense of themselves, as people and as writers. Wanderers traces their footsteps, from eighteenth-century parson's daughter Elizabeth Carter - who desired nothing more than to be taken for a vagabond in the wilds of southern England - to modern walker-writers such as Nan Shepherd and Cheryl Strayed. For each, walking was integral, whether it was rambling for miles across the Highlands, like Sarah Stoddart Hazlitt, or pacing novels into being, as Virginia Woolf did around Bloomsbury.’

Join us and Kerri in Biggar Library at the slightly earlier start time than usual of 7pm.

Tickets £6 and can be purchased from us in the bookshop, call on 01899 221225 or email to get yours now.

Please note* - Places will be limited to allow for plenty of space, face masks will be required until seated and sanitiser will be offered upon entry to make everyone feel as comfortable as possible.
