Events

Join us for an unmissable evening with Sir Sherard Cowper-Coles KCMG LVO, one of Britain's most distinguished diplomats and a Sevenoaks local who cut his political teeth supporting the Liberal campaign in 1974—much of it run from his dad's Landrover!

From serving as Ambassador to Afghanistan, Saudi Arabia and Israel, to engaging with governments worldwide in senior roles at HSBC, Sherard has witnessed first-hand the seismic shifts reshaping our world. As Brexit's consequences unfold, trade patterns fracture, and new alliances form, what role should Britain play on the global stage?

With his unique perspective spanning diplomacy, international business, and decades of Middle Eastern expertise, Sherard will explore:

• The forces driving deglobalisation
• How Britain can navigate this changing landscape
• What our relationship with Europe, Asia and the Middle East should look like

Author of Cables from Kabul and Ever the Diplomat, Sherard combines insider knowledge with engaging storytelling. This is your chance to hear from someone who's shaped Britain's foreign policy and to ask your questions about our nation's future.

Free and open to all. Light refreshments provided. The talk will follow our members-only AGM (7.15 - 8.00pm)

Join us for the Sevenoaks, Dartford & Gravesham Liberal Democrats Quiz Night – an evening of general knowledge questions, friendly competition with fellow Lib Dems and supporters, all while raising vital funds for our local campaigns.

Tickets are £10 in advance or £12 on the door. Email events@sevenoakslibdems.org.uk for more details.
