One of the country's best-loved comedy characters is returning to his spiritual home in Norwich for a special event.

Steve Coogan will be at Waterstones in Castle Street on Tuesday, October 17 2023 from 6.30pm in character as Alan Partridge - the tactless TV and radio presenter. 

Alan will be meeting fans and signing copies of his new book Big Beacon at this one-off event.

In this inspirational new memoir, Alan tells two stunning stories of triumph over mild adversity: somehow managing to rebuild both his TV career and an abandoned lighthouse in Kent.
