The new project with online production company Fane Online features a variety of authors and personalities including Great British Bake Off winner Nancy Birtwhistle, bestselling novelist Kate Mosse, broadcaster Nicky Campbell as well as famous names like Stacey Dooley and comedian Mel Giedroyc.
Many of these online conversations relate to the publication of new books and the authors will be discussing their inspiration for their work and the themes throughout. Previous authors in 2020 included Graham Norton, Ian Rankin, Nadiya Hussain as well as personalities from Ipswich Regent’s previous seasons such as Dick & Angel Strawbridge and the Hairy Bikers.

Audiences have the option to buy a standard ticket or a ticket that includes the book associated with the event. All events will be filmed to the highest quality, delivering an at-home cinema-style experience that goes beyond the standard live stream. Ticket holders can watch the event live, or for up to 48 hours after the original stream.
Sarah Barber, portfolio holder for the town centre, said: “It’s a pleasure to be able to offer even more live streamed events from Fane into 2021, just as the country enters into its third lockdown. This impressive selection of live events should have something for everyone to enjoy – especially if you have received any of these books as gifts”
