Leyburn Arts and Community Centre, in collaboration with bookshop, The Wonky Tree, is is hosting an evening with Dr Rosie Page, daughter of James Herriot author Alf Wight.

The evening will include the screening of the original 1975 film of All Creatures Great and Small. Following an interval, during which refreshments will be available, Rosie will answer questions from audience members about her life and memories of her father.
