Yorkshire Life Literary Lunch with Sophie Raworth

One of Britain’s most recognisable broadcasters, Sophie has spent more than three decades at the heart of some of the biggest stories of our time. From the intensity of live television and reporting on moments of national significance to interviewing leading figures and presenting flagship BBC programmes, hers is a career lived under the brightest of spotlights.

Away from the newsroom, Sophie discovered another kind of challenge: endurance running. What began as a personal pursuit has taken her through marathons, ultramarathons and extraordinary physical tests, offering escape from the pressures of broadcasting and revealing just how far determination, and a willingness to keep putting one foot in front of the other, can take you.

In Running on Air, Sophie brings these two worlds together, reflecting candidly on ambition, family, fear, failure and resilience, alongside the memorable stories that have shaped her life.

Honest and full of insight, this special lunchtime event offers the chance to discover the person behind the familiar face on our screens.

Sophie Raworth will be interviewed by Christine Talbot.

Ticket includes a welcome drink and a set two-course lunch, followed by tea or coffee with petits fours.
