Cancellation | All ticket holders for Colin Thubron’s event on Tuesday 12th November at 12 noon at The Electric Palace
It is with huge regret that BridLit has to announce the cancellation of Event 12. Colin Thubron has had to postpone his visit to Bridport due to ill health. He promises to be back with us in the new year to talk about The Amur River when he will, hopefully, be fully recovered.
Ticket holders are asked to contact either Bridport TIC Tel: 01308 424901 or email feedback@electricpalace.org.uk (depending on where they bought their tickets) to exchange tickets or get a refund.
