Britain's top political commentator and pollster is to speak at an event in Cornwall.

Professor Sir John Curtice is returning to Burrell Theatre, Truro School for a special event, "In Conversation with Professor Sir John Curtice."

The event will take place on November 12 at 7pm at Truro School Chapel.

As a notable pupil of the school, Sir John is returning to the school for a conversation with Mr Rob Murphy.

After leaving the school in 1972, he went to the University of Oxford to study Philosophy, Politics and Economics.

 

Now a professor of politics at the University of Strathclyde, he is known for his expertise in electoral behaviour and has been a prominent figure in TV election coverage for 45 years, including the last General Election.

The Burrell Theatre produces and receives a diverse mix of theatre, dance, live music and film.

The event is free to attend and tickets can be booked on the theatre's website.
