Nicola Sturgeon will discuss her memoir at the event in County Derry.
Former First Minister of Scotland Nicola Sturgeon is set to make her only appearance in the North at an event in Bellaghy this summer.
Ms Sturgeon, who served as both the leader of the Scottish government and SNP before her resignation in 2023, will discuss her memoir ‘Frankly’ with writer and journalist Susan McKay at Seamus Heaney HomePlace.
Frankly, the highly anticipated memoir of Ms Sturgeon, recounts her journey from her working-class roots in Ayrshire to the forefront of Scottish politics as the country’s first female - and longest-serving - First Minister.
During her time in office, she tackled complex challenges including the Scottish Independence Referendum, Brexit, the Covid pandemic, and much more. As leader of the SNP, she worked with five British prime ministers, from David Cameron to Rishi Sunak.
In this special event marking the Northern Ireland launch of her revealing new memoir, Frankly, expect a candid discussion about the mistakes, trials, and achievements in Sturgeon's personal life and career, her interactions with figures - Theresa May, Boris Johnson, Donald Trump, and Alex Salmond – and the challenges of being a woman in a high-stakes political arena.
Nicola Sturgeon in conversation with Susan McKay will take place at Seamus Heaney HomePlace on Tuesday, August 19 at 7.30pm.
Tickets priced at £22.50 go on sale at 10am this Thursday, June 26 on the Seamus Heaney HomePlace website and from box office, telephone 028 7938 7444.
