Yet another rainy day in Manchester meant our Sea Monkeys couldn’t play outside again. Expecting them to be up to mischief as usual, I went to see what they were up to, and was pleasantly surprised to find them reading stories from MCBF authors past and present.
Cathy Cassidy will be joining us for afternoon tea at the Midland Hotel on Saturday 5th July from 2pm.or afternoon
tea with a vintage twist! You’ll be free to snack on delicious cakes and sandwiches as you listen to
Cathy read from and discuss her popular Chocolate
Box Girl series! The books follow the Tanberry sisters as they forge
friendships, develop crushes and follow their dreams.
During the event, Cathy will meet and greet guests, answer
any questions and will also be signing your books, so be sure to bring them
along! If you like, you can even dress up in your best vintage outfits for this
lovely afternoon tea party.
The venue for this fun-filled family day out is the gorgeous
Midland Hotel, which is located next to Manchester Central, within easy walking
distance of Piccadilly Gardens. The hotel is renowned for its afternoon tea,
and in the last century has played host to Kings and Queens as well as presidents
and rock stars, so you can be sure that you’re in for a treat!
Cathy’s events are always popular and this charming day out
is no exception. Book your tickets early to avoid disappointment and to ensure
you don’t miss out on the fun. As usual, tickets are available at mcbf.org. Adult
tickets cost £25 and concessions (children aged 12 and under) are £19.
