  • Saturday 15th March 4:00pm until 6:00pm
Join us for a talk on two journey: Lois Pryce's recent journey across Iran and, more than 200 years before, Mirza Saleh Shirazi's journey from Iran to England.

Author and travel writer, Lois Pryce will share how she received an unusual ‘summons’ in 2011 which led her to embark upon a 3000-mile motorcycle ride around the Islamic Republic of Iran. Incorporating film, music and photography, Lois’ presentation will you tell you more about life in modern Iran than you will learn from any news report.

More than 200 years prior, Mirza Saleh Shirazi chronicled his journey from Iran as one of the first Iranian students sent to England. His story, recounting his encounters, observations, and experiences in England, will be translated for this event by Dr Sudy Anaraki.

Enjoy these two enthralling tales, through time and across continents, and each with their unique perspectives.
