Hugh Bonneville talks to Martha Kearney

My Life in Books: Hay Festival Exclusive

Hay Festival 2026, 

Hugh Bonneville reveals the books he reads when he’s not learning lines and the stories that have inspired him and his career. A wonderful chance to hear a different side to the actor, best known for his roles in Downton Abbey and Paddington. A warm and witty journey through Bonneville’s life-story, with plenty of his trademark charm and self-deprecating humour. He’s in conversation with journalist and broadcaster Martha Kearney.
