The lockdowns of the last few months have affected everyone regardless of age or occupation but for parents, and especially key workers within and outside of the rail industry, the current restrictions – along with the added stress of home schooling – will result in 2020 and the first quarter of 2021 being remembered as very challenging times with little to no respite.
In addition to Kid’s Hour – an initiative aimed at giving children of rail workers a break from homeschooling and a weekly activity to look forward to – Women in Rail is launching “An Evening with…’, specially aimed at bringing a little light relief to parents in these dark times and create fun lasting memories which can be held onto for years to come.
‘An Evening with…’ consist of a series of a free talk presentation with a well-known TV, radio or sport personality, followed by a question-and-answer session, giving parents a chance to hear some great behind the scenes stories from British celebrities.
The ‘An Evening with…’ series will take place every Thursday afternoon at 6pm and will start on Thursday 11 February, with award-winning broadcaster, Harriet Scott.
Harriet joined Magic Radio in August 2015, entertaining on-air with her warm and fun presenting style.
She got her start on the airwaves with her own show on student radio, going on to host a string of radio programmes, picking up awards along the way, and making a name for herself as one of the top radio presenters in the country. In September 2017, Harriet joined the Magic Breakfast Show to present alongside Ronan Keating.
Her list of celebrity interviews is pretty impressive – including George Clooney, Tom Hanks, Nicole Kidman, Meryl Streep, Ricky Gervais, Ben Stiller, George Michael, Julia Roberts, Stevie Wonder and Michael Bublé… which would be quite the dinner party.
When Harriet isn’t on air, she loves being mum to her young boys Louis and Max, going on family adventures, and cooking for friends.
All members of the UK rail industry are invited to register using the link below.
