We have two pairs of tickets to give away to the Queen's Reading Room Festival, which returns to Hampton Court Palace for a second year to spread the joy of reading through talks, book signings, and literary-themed tours.
The one-day charity festival has a star-studded line-up of actors, writers, and historians planned, including Miriam Margolyes bringing the cast of Charles Dickens to life and Dame Harriet Walker, who joins Helena Bonham Carter for a special edition of Poetry Pharmacy.
Ken Follett, Harlan Coben and Mick Herron host an exclusive session for thriller fanatics while three of our greatest living crime writers - Sir Ian Rankin, Ann Cleeves and Lee Child - discuss crafting a perfect crime. There's more from Mary Beard, Tracy Borman, Rev Richard Coles, Elif Shafak and many more.
Our Essential Surrey tickets include access to the Palace, plus a main stage show (worth 2 x £30). Enter below:
