SUMMARY:From Acorns to Oaks: An evening with Lord Michael Heseltine
DESCRIPTION:When Lord Michael Heseltine wrote his acclaimed autobiography\, Life in the Jungle\, he assumed his political career was over. He returned to Haymarket\, his publishing business\, and intended to explore more of the world and pursue his passions outside politics. His assumption was wrong. David Cameron called him\, tentatively at first but gradually with increased responsibility\, back to the corridors of power. \nJoin us for an evening with Lord Michael Heseltine\, a figure who has played a defining role in British politics for more than sixty years. As one of the country’s most prominent statesmen\, he reflects on his remarkable political career\, sharing new revelations about his time in Margaret Thatcher’s cabinet\, his role in John Major’s administration in the 1990s and his later return to the centre of power when David Cameron invited him back as an adviser. \nThis promises to be a comprehensive and thought‑provoking evening with a statesman whose influence has shaped national debate for decades. \nTickets are on sale from 10am on Monday 12 January 2026 \nBook Tickets \n  \nDoors open at 6pm\, talk starts at 6.30pm.

SUMMARY:Roots of Wellbeing: Henry Agg in conversation with Amy Chapman
DESCRIPTION:Time spent in the garden is never wasted. Join authors Henry Agg and Amy Chapman for an inspiring conversation exploring how gardening can transform mental health and wellbeing. In this refreshing author talk\, Henry and Amy draw on their personal experiences\, research\, and writing to uncover why tending to plants can also mean tending to ourselves. Guided by Katie Tyler\, they will be sharing knowledge for busy gardeners who don’t know where to begin in the pursuit of happiness through practical\, outdoor activities. \n\nTogether\, they discuss practical ways anyone can use gardening to reduce stress and reconnect with the natural world. Expect thoughtful insights\, warm conversation\, and plenty of take-home inspiration for cultivating both green spaces and inner peace. \n\nTickets are on sale from 10am on Monday 12 January 2026 \nBook Tickets \nDoors open at 7pm\, talk starts at 7.30pm. \nHenry Agg is a garden designer and horticulturalist who has built a name for himself in the horticultural industry through his social media channels and has also appeared on BBC’s Gardeners’’ World. He trained as a horticulturalist through the Royal Horticultural Society and garden design with The English Gardening School. He actively takes part in flower shows\, such as RHS Chelsea Flower Show and Hampton Court. His can-do and hands-on practical attitude make him stand out in the online social media world. \nAmy Chapman started gardening when she bought her little cottage in the countryside of West Wales\, complete with stream and ducks. It wasn’t something that had always been in her life. She was struggling with anxiety – something that had hindered Amy throughout her life and often stopped her from doing what she wanted to do. Having tried so many things to ease her symptoms: different types of exercise\, yoga\, therapy and lifestyle changes – whilst these methods all helped a little bit\, none transformed Amy in the way that gardening has. \n
