In recent years I have spoken at the Brontë Parsonage Museum, the Marylebone Festival, Clapham Omnibus Theatre, University of the Third Age (Ealing branch and Buxton branch), the University of Cambridge Institute of Continuing Education, the Royal College of Art, the Browning Society and Ledbury Poetry Festival.
