An Evening with Suzy Walker

From Oprah to the Dalai Lama, from glossy magazines to life's biggest questions...

Join us for a very special evening as we open our June Book Club meeting to welcome Suzy Walker, Editor-in-Chief of Platinum magazine and one of the UK's most respected magazine editors.

Over a remarkable career spanning decades, Suzy has interviewed some of the world's most influential and inspiring people, including Oprah Winfrey, the Dalai Lama, and countless celebrities, writers, and thought leaders. As Editor-in-Chief of Platinum, she champions women who are embracing new adventures, fresh opportunities, and the freedom to create lives they truly love.

Suzy is also the creator of The Heart Leap Club on Substack—a thoughtful and uplifting community exploring writing, creativity, personal growth, and the art of figuring things out as we go. Closer to home, she co-founded the much-loved Alnwick Story Fest, where authors, readers, and storytellers transform the historic Northumberland town into a celebration of stories and ideas.

But beyond the famous names and impressive career, Suzy is passionate about something even more compelling: how we live well, stay curious, find purpose, and continue reinventing ourselves at every stage of life.

In this intimate and engaging conversation, Suzy will share behind-the-scenes stories from the magazine world, reflections on the people she has met, and insights from a life spent listening to extraordinary stories.

Whether you're interested in publishing, writing, creativity, or simply hearing from someone who has lived a fascinating life, this promises to be an inspiring and entertaining evening.

Come along, bring a friend, and join us for what is sure to be a memorable night of conversation, laughter, and inspiration.

Whether you are joining us for the first time or returning as a Member, you will be warmly welcomed into a friendly and relaxed setting. Most women come on their own and quickly feel at ease. The Ginger Fig Club is a private members’ club for women, new ladies are very welcome to attend and please book the First Visit ticket.
