They are delighted to announce that local sculptor Harry Malkin has agreed to join them and to talk about his work, one piece of which features in the booklet. In addtion, Councillor Glenn Burton, the Council’s Portfolio holder for Tourism, and Robert Powell, Creative Director of Beam, will also be speaking at the event.
