An Eye For A Spy
Hampton Court Palace, Surrey.
Join three of our greatest writers of espionage literature for a session all about spies, lies and disguise. Where is the line between truth and fiction in the life of a spy? Why have secret agents been the cause of fascination since time immemorial? And what is it like as a writer to step into the mind of a spy?
With Ben Macintyre, Robert Harris and Ken Follett and special readings from actor David Harewood.

Set in the stunning surrounds of Hampton Court Palace, The Queen's Reading Room Festival will be a literary event like no other.
Visitors can explore the Palace on literary themed tours and tread the floors where Shakespeare once performed with his King's Men; wander the sumptuous gardens bursting with life in summer; listen to poetry read by some of our country's finest actors, and of course, can enjoy shows from our headliners, including Dame Judi Dench, Gyles Brandreth, David Olusoga, Ben Macintyre and many more.
Visitors who have tickets to one or more of our sessions will have access to the ground floor areas of Hampton Court Palace, including the Tudor Kitchen, Orangery and ornate Privy Gardens. Guests will also be able to enjoy the elegant formal gardens and can feast and sup like Kings and Queens in our food village on the lawns or within the Palace cafes.
The festival is a co-production between The Queen's Reading Room and Historic Royal Palaces; proceeds from the festival will go towards the ongoing work of both charities.
