Manchester Author Event & Gig


I am an attending author, so if you would like to pre-order and save a little dosh, here is the pre-order form for my books and all the information you will need about the event.

This will be the first event of its kind hosted by Scarlett Enterprises, and is going to be an annual event on this site. I am certain this event will go from strength to strength. The signing and gig will take place in a large marquee measuring 21 x 15 metres, with a smaller marquee accommodating the beer tent & refreshments. In the evening there will be a BBQ and other food available. Afternoon tea of sandwiches and cakes will be available to purchase, through the day. An ice-cream van is also going to be onsite. All day tickets and the evening gig tickets include a burger, hot dog, and side dishes at the evening event. Additional food may be bought. The signing will take place on Saturday the 13th of August 2016, at the Red Rose Steam Society Ltd. Mining Museum in Astley Green, Manchester, M29 7JB. Through the day an author book signing will take place, with morning and afternoon sessions available. Morning session will run 11 am – 1.30 pm, afternoon 2.30 pm – 5 pm, or an option for an all-day ticket. There will be a break between 1.30 – 2.30 pm for dinner, to enable attendees, helpers and authors alike to have a break. LUNCH BREAK 1.30 – 2.30 pm (All readers will be requested to leave the signing marquee and return after) ALL TICKETS WILL BE SCANNED FOR ENTRY AND YOU WILL BE GIVEN A COLOUR CODES WRIST BAND.
