Join us for an evening of epic historical fiction with Ken Follett as we celebrate publication of his latest novel Circle of Days. Ken will be in conversation with fellow author Dan Jones as they discuss this rich tale about the construction of Stonehenge, as the divided tribes of the Great Plain struggle to suppress their enmity whilst building the iconic monument.
