All the details for the event
The event, which is free to attend, will be held at The Three Arches Events Space in Sheffield from 7pm and children are welcome.

He will be joined by author of the book Jamie Boyle, who will host the evening.
Who is Junior Witter?
Nicknamed ‘The Hitter’, the Bradfordian won 43 of his 53 professional fights, with the peak of his career coming in September 2006, when he defeated American Demarcus Corley at the Alexandra Palace to become light-welterweight world champion.
Junior Witter had many memorable nights in his career in the ring, with 43 professional wins to his name.
That title had been vacated by the great Floyd Mayweather Jr, and Witter put up two successful defences of the belt, before losing it Timothy Bradley in May 2008.
Earlier in his career, Witter became British, Commonwealth and European light-welterweight champion.
Remarkably, he returned to the ring, after an 18-month hiatus, in February 2011, before winning the British Welterweight title in May 2012 at the age of 38.
