Spaces are limited so please only book a place if you can attend. Demand is high and we therefore ask you to let us know should you be unable to make it on the evening. We will be keeping a waitlist and those who are first on the waitlist will be contacted should spaces become available.

Please email Natasha Duffy natasha.duffy@nla.london to join the waitlist.
