The Heseltine Institute for Public Policy, Practice and Place is delighted to welcome one of the great figures of British political life and its namesake, The Rt. Hon. the Lord Heseltine CH to discuss his new memoir, ‘From Acorns to Oaks: An Urgent Agenda to Rebuild Britain’.

This new book documents Lord Heseltine’s return to the corridors of power within David Cameron’s government and offers a damning assessment of what he considers the grievous act of self-harm inflicted on Britain by Brexit.

In an evening of robust discussion, Lord Heseltine will look back on the fundamental changes he masterminded while in government and set out the change needed to unite the country and restore hope.

Lord Heseltine will be in conversation with Heseltine Institute Ambassador, Professor Michael Parkinson.

The event will last for an hour, including Q&A with the audience. The event will be followed by a book signing where you will have the opportunity to buy copies of Lord Heseltine’s new memoir.

This event is free to attend, but please register to secure your place.

Reviews:

“This book is a delight. It’s for anyone who wants to know how to get things done, anyone who admires people who stick to their principles and anyone who just wants a first-hand account of politics from a master practitioner.” Daniel Finkelstein, columnist, The Times

“Through this second memoir, Michael Heseltine reveals why he was such a unique, towering and influential figure in post-war British society, not driven by personal ambition or party loyalty but by a lifetime of conviction about what has been missing from efforts to restore Britain. After seven decades on the front line of politics, business and even the natural environment, he draws personal and political lessons that are utterly contemporary.” Patrick Wintour, diplomatic editor, The Guardian
