AUTHOR Christie Barlow will return to her native Cheshire to spend an evening with guests at The Belle Epoque on December 1.

Her book 'A Year in the Life of a Playground Mother' hit the number one spot in the Amazon Book Charts in both the UK and US.

The book which has received widespread praise from mothers everywhere, is a humorous account from the frontline that is – the school playground.

Christie, who now lives in Staffordshire, attended a literary lunch at The Belle Epoque back in October, but due to high demand, the date has been added to give Knutsfordian's a chance to meet the author, and listen to her relatable and often hilarious stories.

In addition, guests will be treated to style advice ahead of the party season from stylist Karina Taylor.

Tickets cost £20 and include a welcome drink and a two-course meal. They can be purchased by calling 01565 633060 or emailing info@thebelleepoque.com.
