Ann Widdecombe will be discussing her autobiography, “Strictly Ann”.

With characteristic verve and integrity, Ann Widdecombe recalls her life and highlights the people and events that most influenced her along the way.  From her early life in Singapore and her convent school days to her student ambitions at Birmingham and Oxford, and her long-serving years as an MP, this is the life story of one of our most outspoken and celebrated politicians.  Never afraid of controversy.  From feisty and witty appearances on “Have I got News for You” to her unforgettable performances on “Strictly Come Dancing”, Ann has been heralded a “national living treasure” by the Guardian.

Also containing Ann’s trenchant views on the Coalition, MP’s expenses and the state of the nation, this is a provocative and entertaining autobiography.

Tickets £8 each, with £4 redeemable against purchase of her hardback book, “Strictly Ann”, published on 6 June 2013.
