Ride Leicester - Leicester Comedy Festival Sue Townsend Adrian Mole Ride

Join Ride Leicester and Dr Emma Parker, University of Leicester, during the Comedy Festival to explore sites in the city associated with Sue Townsend, author of The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole, the biggest selling book of the 1980s.

Discover how Townsend’s life in Leicester shaped her work: see the houses where she wrote her books, the theatre where her plays were first performed and the adventure playground where she worked with teenagers to uncover her influences, values and creative practice.

The ride ends with a chance to delve into the Sue Townsend archive at the University of Leicester.

Numbers are limited to 30. Thanks to kind support of www.adrianmoleofficial.com riders completing the ride will receive a FREE Adrian Mole mug!
