Nottingham exile Peter Mortimer writes extreme travel books (Yemen, anybody?) but here he takes to the road armed only with a chess set, challenging random strangers to a game.

At 6.00 we’ll get out a bunch of chess sets for some random games with Peter and others. Whatever your ability…

At 7.15 Peter will talk about being a “chess traveller” and his meetings with people on his assorted travels in mundane and exciting places.

Entry: £3 including refreshements.

You can attend both parts of the event or the second one only, but let us know you are coming on fiveleaves.bookshopevents@gmail.com.
