A well-known political figure is set to visit Uppingham to talk about his life and sign copies of his new book.
Lord Paddy Ashdown will be at Uppingham School Memorial Hall on Tuesday, March 12.
Lord Ashdown, will talk about his new publication, A Brilliant Little Operation, and his career, and answer questions from the audience.
