We are sorry you missed out! Sign up to stay in touch on our upcoming events.
We've always loved gathering people around the table to share stories, good food and a glass of something nice.
So, we're delighted to welcome Fearne Cotton and bestselling author Lucy Foley to THE PIG-near Bath for a relaxed afternoon celebrating the launch of Murder at the Grand Alpine Hotel. Join us for a live conversation, a leisurely PIG lunch and the chance to have your books signed before you head home.
Arrive to a Miss Marple-inspired cocktail before taking your seat with a glass of fizz and plenty of Piggy Bits to share. Then, settle in as Fearne Cotton sits down with Lucy Foley to chat about the inspiration behind Murder at the Grand Alpine Hotel, the return of Miss Marple and the stories behind the pages, before opening the floor for your questions.
After the conversation, we'll serve a seasonal two-course PIG lunch with good pours of wine, before rounding off the afternoon with the chance to browse books from Toppings Bookshop and have your copies signed by Fearne and Lucy.
