Final block of tickets for Simon Schama's Balfour 100 lecture to go on sale

The final batch of tickets for one of the major events of this autumn’s Balfour 100 celebrations are set to go on sale.

The historian Simon Schama will be giving a keynote lecture to mark the centenary of the signing of the Balfour Declaration, the historic document which signalled Britain’s support for a Jewish homeland in Palestine.

The talk will take place in central London on November 1.

The first block of tickets went on sale on September 6 and sold out within an hour.
