Wed 8 Feb, 8pm Tickets: £5 Best known for building homes on DIY SOS, or testing general knowledge on Who Dares Wins, TV presenter Nick Knowles has now turned his hand to nutrition and wellbeing following his life-changing BBC2 series The Retreat. In 2015, Nick travelled to Thailand with a camera crew for a detox involving a week-long fast followed by a purely vegan diet. The results? He lost 9 kilos in 3 weeks, his cholesterol fell by a third and his blood pressure dropped to a healthy level. A year on, Nick is slimmer, healthier and fitter than ever and on a mission to help everyone discover the joy in a meat-free meal – without having to give up a Sunday Roast. Nick’s talk will be followed by an audience Q&A and a book signing in the Oak Room bar.
TV presenter Joe Swift digs deep to reveal his fascinating story, from his rock ‘n roll youth to becoming one of the country’s top Garden Designers. Hear what really happens behind the scenes at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show and Gardeners’ World and find out what it takes to get a Chelsea Show Gold Medal. His TV credits include Gardeners’ World, and the RHS Chelsea Flower Show and he is a regular columnist for The Times and Gardeners’ World magazine. Joe will share all this with you, taking questions on his life and career, but warns that answering questions on dead plants isn’t going to be top of his list!
