About the event
Coming back to the Clarke Foley Centre in Ilkley on Saturday 11th October is the amazing Totally Typewriters: an interactive celebration of the marvellous machines that changed the world, displaying over 80 typewriters from the 1920s to the 1980s.
This free event from 10am to 4pm will feature every kind of typewriter imaginable - large, small, office to ultraportable, black to every colour of the rainbow. There will be a large number of working machines for everyone to try out - type some poetry, prose, a letter or even a shopping list. You are encouraged to bring your own typewriter for a type-in.
As well as oggling all the amazing machines, we will have:
ME! Short & Few will be there helping you type your own covers and stitch them in to a book
