Cheltenham Festivals is bringing former Prime Minister Boris Johnson to this year's Cheltenham Literature Festival.

Boris will be speaking at The Centaur at Cheltenham Racecourse on Thursday 10 October 2024, in what the organisers say will be an 'unrestrained and deeply revealing' conversation. 

Discussing everything from Brexit to Covid, Boris will be sharing the reasons behind some of the big decisions he made as Prime Minister, as well as reflecting on his time leading the country through some of the most turbulent times in recent history. 

His appearance at the festival will also promote his new memoir, Unleashed, which is being released on the same day. 

Tickets to the event cost £50 each and include a signed hardback copy of the book, which retails at £30. 

Seats are already selling fast with stalls almost sold out after the event was highlighted on Instagram over the weekend.
