Alison Marshall talks about her new book “Journeys of Hope: The Letters of Meyer and Sonia”
Everyone thinks there might be something interesting in their attic. In this case, it turned out that there was. From the box of letters she found there, Settle resident Alison Marshall pieced together the first hand story of two people’s emigration journey, drawing parallels between their situation in the 1920s and that of their parents, grandparents – all of them migrants from eastern Europe, but in vastly different circumstances.
The letters that Alison found offer unique insights into universal challenges, chiming with current affairs and prompted her own journey of discovery through eastern Europe.
You are invited to join us at this launch event to hear the fascinating backstory behind this important new book. Pippa Doran will ask questions you never dared to ask, in a fireside chat format. The event will start with drinks and cake at 6.30 pm, followed by an informal conversation between Pippa Doran and Alison Marshall. There will then be opportunities for the audience to ask questions or discuss issues, finishing with more tea and cake and the bar will be open until 8.30 pm.
Join us for an inspiring evening.
Free Entry. Donations to the Sunflower Dreams Project are welcome.

CABARET SEATING
Most of the shows at Victoria Hall use ‘cabaret-style’ seating. This means that your seats will be unreserved, which allows you to decide where to sit when you arrive.
The stalls (downstairs) are set up informally, with chairs around small tables, for a sociable, relaxed atmosphere, and somewhere to put your drink. Cabaret seating also allows space for dancing, which is highly encouraged at Victoria Hall!
For those who prefer a more ‘traditional’ theatre experience, the balcony seats are laid out in rows and raked, ensuring all seats have an excellent view.
For parties of six or more, tables in the stalls can be reserved- contact us to reserve a table. If you have reserved a table, we ask that at least one of your party turn up at least 30 minutes before the performance start time, in order to secure your table.
We can always reserve seating or wheelchair spaces in the stalls for those unable to use the stairs- just let us know when you book your tickets.
Please note, online bookings are subject to a booking fee. Tickets can also be bought by phone on 01729 825718, or in person at our box office. Opening hours are 10am-2pm, Monday-Friday.
Show end times given are an estimate only. Doors open 45 minutes before show start times.
Settle Victoria Hall reserves the right to turn away any customers not adhering to social-distancing laws, government guidelines, and/ or venue safeguarding policies.
Tickets are non-refundable, except in the case that the event or date has been changed by Settle Victoria Hall.
