Heywood House Literary Festival throughout the Mansion Ground Floor with authors Sarah Chuchwell, Tim Marshall and Dan Jones 2024

We welcome Sunday Times Bestseller Tim Marshall (Prisoners of Geography), Historian Dan Jones and author of ‘The Well Gardened Mind, Dr Sue Stuart Smith (Sunday Times Bestseller and Book of the Year), and many others.

All speaking events are held within a grand, Jacobean manor hall, requisite with stunning portraits of past owners and their histories, including stories of Sir Walter Raleigh, links with Shakespeare and photographs of the house’s time as a WW2 Field hospital.

The history of Heywood Literary Festival is a short one, but a major figure has been James Heneage, co-founder of the Chalke Valley History Festival, who we thank for his support and encouragement.
