Nicola Sturgeon announces huge Edinburgh show with 'meet and greet'

NICOLA Sturgeon has announced a huge event in Edinburgh after the release of her memoir.

The former first minister’s book Frankly is due to be released on August 14, and she has now announced a “special event” to follow it.

On October 7, Sturgeon will speak at the 2200-capacity Usher Hall in Edinburgh, it has been announced.

The event will be followed by a question and answer session with the audience, and preceded by a meet and greet for a higher fee.

Tickets, which are available at Sturgeonlive.co.uk, start at £33.25 including booking fee, with more expensive seats at £73.95.

Anyone wishing to attend the meet and greet will have to pay £82.75 extra, also including the booking fee.

“I will reflect on my career in politics, from the early days in the Scottish Parliament to leading the country through historic and often turbulent times.

“In an in-depth interview followed by an audience Q&A, I will offer personal insights into leadership, public service, and the challenges and triumphs that have shaped my journey. 

“I will also share some thoughts on what lies ahead – for me, for Scotland, and for politics more broadly.”

Sturgeon was cleared of wrongdoing last month after a years-long police probe into the SNP’s finances.

She appeared at a Books and Banter show with Val McDermid during Glasgow International Comedy Festival two days later.
