Storytelling has always been at the heart of Liverpool.

It lives in our streets, our music, our people, and in the voices of those who continue to shape the city today.

On Thursday 5th March, Fran will be joining a panel at CENTRAL TECH, Liverpool, as part of the In The Know event celebrating both International Women’s Day and World Book Day 2026.

This special event brings together a group of inspiring women to share their personal journeys, reflect on the stories that have shaped them, and explore the role storytelling plays in connecting people and communities.

Liverpool is a city built on stories. Some are famous. Others are quieter. But all of them matter.

For Fran, storytelling is not just about the past. It is about helping people see the city differently. To notice the details they might otherwise walk past. To understand the people behind the places.

Events like this remind us that storytelling is not confined to books or stages. It exists in everyday conversations, shared experiences, and the courage to speak honestly about where we have come from and where we are going.

The event takes place from 9am to 11am at CENTRAL TECH on Russell Street and is open to anyone who would like to attend.

It is a chance to listen, learn, and connect with others who believe in the power of stories to inspire,

empower, and bring people together.

Fran is proud to be part of the conversation and to continue sharing Liverpool’s stories, both on stage and on the streets.
