An Evening with David Lascelles: Earl of Harewood

Prepare for the astonishing true story of the high-profile hostages who survived Colditz.

We are delighted to welcome David Lascelles to The Old Woollen to tell us about his gripping, new book, Out of Colditz; the true story of the Prominente of the British establishment, held at Colditz Castle, and the extraordinary decision of an SS officer to disobey orders and spare their lives.

A FARSLEY LIT FEST 2026 EVENT

We are looking forward to hearing from this prominent Leeds figure and delving into his book, his life and his experiences. Out of Colditz offers a never-before-told perspective on the British experience at Colditz - one of the most infamous sites in Nazi Germany.

The event will include a book signing. Doors at 7pm.
