Dame Joan Bakewell | A Tale of Moving On
Saturday 19 October 2024 | 7pm
The Crown Hotel, Harrogate
£15
Please note all bookings are subject to a £2.50 transaction fee.
Acclaimed broadcaster, author and Labour peer Dame Joan Bakewell reflects on her life as she downsizes and moves on from the house she has lived in for 53 years. Bakewell advocates for everyone’s right to a fulfilling old age and this resulted in her latest book, The Tick of Two Clocks.
Joan Bakewell writes ‘old age is no longer a blip in the calendar, just a few declining years before the end. Old age is now a major, important part of life. It should command as much thought as teenagers give to exam results and young people contemplating a future life together.
I am in my 80s and moving towards the end of my life. In a literal sense I have moved from my home of fifty odd years into another . . . the home where I will live out my days. Writing here of how it happened is both a reconciliation of what cannot be avoided, and a confrontation with the inevitable’.
Join us as at The Crown Hotel where Dame Joan Bakewell will share reflections from her extraordinary life and career as she moves onto the next chapter of her life.
