Henley Literary Festival: Michael Heseltine
- 8 Oct 2025
- 15:00

From resigning as Thatcher’s Defence Secretary over Westland, to being one of the most vocal Conservative critics of Brexit, via surprise comebacks 25 years apart under Major and Cameron, Lord Heseltine has been ploughing his own furrow politically for decades – all while creating the renowned Thenford Arboretum. MP for Henley for 27 years, the former Deputy PM and Haymarket founder returns with From Acorns to Oaks, looking both back on his unique career and forward with his agenda to rebuild Britain. Michael will be in conversation with The Independent’s Simon Walters.
This event is in partnership with The Independent.
