Our next event is Daphne Neville's Beatrix Potter Looks Back on 16th August at 2.30 pm. 

Daphne was trained at the Royal Academy of Dramatic and is an accomplished actress, author, speaker and television personality.  She has cared for otters at her family's mill in Gloucestershire for the past 20 years and talks on average once a week on Otters around the world and her own otters in particular.

In this amusing and entertaining presentation she plays the part of Beatrix Potter as a married woman in the Lake District, looking back on her Tales of Peter Rabbit, Jeremy Fisher, etc. and why she wrote her 'little books'. Daphne is kindly donating the majority of her fee to the Cotswold Players’ Building Fund.
