Wildlife King in city
Natural history documentary maker Simon King is visiting Liverpool’s Central Library tomorrow evening (Wednesday 19 August).
The TV star is popping into the historic Picton Reading Room on William Brown Street for a sell-out hour long talk about his latest book, titled “Wild Life”.
He will also be signing copies at a specially erected Waterstones stall in the library.
The cameraman, producer and presenter of natural history films is known by millions of TV viewers for his regular appearances on The One Show on BBC One.
During his career he has been charged by enraged elephants, tossed by mountainous seas in the South Atlantic and attacked by a rabid cheetah.
His work has taken him around the planet many times and led to the revelation of sights and natural events never recorded before.
It has also brought him face to face with mortal dangers and comic encounters, both with animals and people.
Councillor Tina Gould, assistant executive member to the leader, said: “We are delighted to be welcoming Simon King to Liverpool.
“There has been an overwhelming demand for tickets for this event and we could have sold it out several times over.
“I know it will prove to be a fascinating discussion, made even more special because it is taking place in such a beautiful location.”
Please note that there are no tickets left for this event as it is a sell-out.
