MarBella Corfu and Classic Collection Holidays are thrilled to announce this special one off event and are looking forward to welcoming Alan to Corfu. The after dinner talk will be a complimentary added extra to guests staying at the hotel and will take place in the property’s beautiful Greek restaurant. The essence and theme of his talk will revolve heavily around travel and promises to be very entertaining. There will also be an informal drinks reception held at the hotel during the week giving guests an opportunity to meet with Alan for an informative Q&A and have time to probe him on his life in travel, journalism and other areas of his life. Following a previous performance from Alan, an audience member was quoted as saying “......... a superb performance. Alan Wright held over 500 people in the palm of his hand for nearly an hour. The banqueting suite was rocking with laughter, and he thoroughly deserved his long standing ovation."
