When a life-threatening acid-attack left Katie Piper physically and visibly scarred at just 24, her approach to ageing was irrevocably changed and she now sees each passing year as a reminder of the privilege of being alive.

International bestselling author, inspirational speaker, TV presenter and charity campaigner, Katie is a regular panellist on ITV’s Loose Women and a presenter for BBC Radio 2. Katie shared her remarkable story in a Channel 4 documentary called Katie: My Beautiful Face, which was watched by over 3.5 million viewers and nominated for a BAFTA in 2010.

Over a decade on, Katie discusses with Festival Chair Lucy Cotter what it means to age well within a world that has too often made women feel irrelevant or invisible for going through the natural ageing process. 

THIS EVENT WILL BE SPEECH-TO-TEXT FACILITATED – THANKS TO OGIER
