Gino’s Italian Escape Live spices up final week of Big Wordfest

Tuesday, 25 April 2017 11:22

Gino D'Acampo’s Italian Escape Live event will help draw Watford’s Big Wordfest to a close after almost two months of writing, drawing, playing and performing all over Watford.

Lucky ticket holders will be treated to an evening of Gino’s trademark humour and culinary excitement from 8.00pm on Friday 28th April. His live show will feature cooking demonstrations of some of his favourite dishes from his popular 'Italian Escape' series and he's sure to invite some audience members to join him on stage for a memorable, up-close experience. (Not suitable for young children as may contain strong language).

Don't worry if you haven’t got tickets, there’s still fun to be had outside! Come along to #LobbyLive at Watford Colosseum from 6.00pm on Friday 28th April for a FREE spoken word and poetry reading session featuring musician and poet, Stephen Patmore, cooking up some delightful food for thought ahead of Gino’s live show. Stephen will take us on a journey from dark to light bringing an ‘alternative flavour to the cookery mood’.

There’s no need to wait for Friday though, there’s plenty more planned for the final week of Big Wordfest:

· Wednesday 26th April at 7.15pm: Author and historian, Alison Weir, talks about her highly anticipated upcoming book ‘Anne Boleyn: A king's obsession’ at Watford Central Library
· Thursday 27th April at 6pm: A creative writing workshop with author A L Michael at Waterstones Watford
· Friday 28th April at 2.15pm: Baby Rhyme Time at North Watford Library, #LobbyLive at Watford Colosseum and Gino’s Italian Escape Live at Watford Colosseum
· Saturday 29th April at 11am: Five Minutes Peace – children’s activities based on the much loved book at Waterstones Watford

Tickets are still available for all events and many have free entry – for more details visit Big Wordfest and keep on celebrating everything to do with language and words in Watford!
