How do we make the most of the time we have on earth? And what does it really mean to live well? According to Great British Bake Off judge and national treasure Prue Leith, the secret lies in embracing life with joy while accepting its inevitable end.

Renowned for her zest for living, Leith has built an extraordinary career as a Michelin-starred restaurateur, author, broadcaster, and beloved Bake Off judge. Yet her passion for life has also been shaped by the loss of her brother and first husband. These experiences inspired her to become a leading campaigner for assisted dying in the UK.

On February 25, Prue joins Intelligence Squared live at the Royal Geographical Society to reflect on her remarkable life and share insights from her new memoir Being Old … and Learning to Love It! Expect reflections on love, ageing, joy, and grief — from strutting the catwalk and finding love again in her seventies, to facing life’s hardest goodbyes with humour and grace.

Join us live and ask Prue your own questions about life in the audience Q&A.
