COFFEE MORNING: The Yorkshire Ripper

26th Apr 2024
10:15 am - 12:00 pm

Sir Rodney Brooke CBE was chief executive of the West Yorkshire Police Authority during the reign of terror of Peter Sutcliffe, the so-called Yorkshire Ripper. Between 1975 and 1980, Sutcliffe murdered at least 13 women and attacked several more.

Sir Rodney was a key figure in the dialogue between the West Yorkshire Police, the Home Office, the Police Inspectorate and the Police Authority. He reveals previously unknown facts about the hunt for the murderer.

Tickets to attend the talk in person are £3 and may be purchased online through Eventbrite (a booking fee is payable), or at the Box Office when the House is open on weekends.
Tickets may be available on the door but will be subject to availability, and we cannot guarantee admission. If you cannot attend the talk in person, you can watch it later on YouTube.

Arrive at Ilkley Manor House at 10:15am to have time to get a hot drink and biscuit. The talk will start at 10:30am, lasting roughly an hour with time for questions at the end.
