Sajid Javid: The Colour of Home:
The former Health Secretary shares his critically-acclaimed memoir - a moving exploration of growing up in 1970s England, his experiences of racism and his beliefs which took him into the heart of British public life. He’ll share experiences of the racist abuse that surrounded his family in Rochdale and a childhood marked by poverty and the tension and determination produced by trying to conform to two cultures - a tension that threatened estrangement from his family and a determination to refuse to accept the limits that seemed imposed by his background.

Meet in the bar area before the event. Parking at the Crowne Plaza but make sure you register your vehicle with hotel reception.
