Nantwich bookshop to host BBC producer and author this March
By Jonathan White 25th Feb 2025
Nantwich Bookshop & Coffee Lounge is set to welcome two fascinating authors to town this March, including a BBC Sport producer.
On Friday 14 March, BBC correspondent Giles Goford will discuss his memoir, 'Head for The Floodlights.' at the High Street venue.
The book recounts his childhood obsession with football and a remarkable journey with his father in 1988 and 1989, visiting all 92 Football League grounds.
Despite his dad not being a football fan, the trip became a powerful bonding experience during a challenging time in their lives.
Tickets are £16 (£25 per couple) and include a copy of the book and a complimentary drink. Doors open at 5.45pm, with the event starting at 6.15pm.
The following week, on Thursday 20 March, local author, Kate Blakemore, will launch her second book, 'The Motherwell Journey.'
As the founder of Motherwell Cheshire, a charity dedicated to empowering women, Blakemore reflects on the highs and lows of leading the organisation while also exploring gender equality issues in areas such as education, leadership, health, and mental wellbeing.
Tickets are £15 (£22 per couple) and include a copy of the book and a welcome drink. Doors open at 5.45pm, with the event beginning at 6.15pm.
Co-owner of Nantwich Bookshop & Coffee Lounge, Denise Lawson, said: "We are thrilled to be hosting these two fantastic authors.
"Giles' story is a heartwarming tale of football, family, and adventure, while Kate's work is a powerful testament to the impact of supporting women and girls.
"We look forward to welcoming our community for two truly inspiring evenings."
