You are invited to the Town Hall on Friday 24th April 2026 from 7:00pm for an insightful and informal talk by Julie Montagu, Countess of Sandwich. This is a free event, but tickets must be booked in advance please.
Julie is a celebrated public speaker, television personality, author, and royal commentator known for her engaging presence and ability to connect with diverse audiences around the world.
As a historian and public speaker, Julie’s rare blend of expertise, charisma, and authenticity inspires audiences on topics ranging from resilience and wellness to British aristocratic life and royal traditions.
Born and raised in Illinois, USA, Julie’s journey took a remarkable turn when she moved to London and married Luke Montagu, then Viscount Hinchingbrooke, heir to the Earldom of Sandwich and the Mapperton Estate in Dorset.
Julie now divides her time between London and Mapperton, where she balances family life, video production, public roles, and managing the estate alongside her husband.
Julie’s mission is to empower, uplift, and educate. Whether speaking from a stage, on screen, or in print, she continues to inspire audiences to embrace change, live well, and connect with the world in meaningful ways.
Along with her husband, Luke, Earl of Sandwich, Julie is an active custodian of the historic Mapperton Estate (the finest estate in England). They give insights into their lives running Mapperton and the estate’s history on their YouTube Channels, Mapperton Live and Rewilding Mapperton.
There will also be an opportunity to ask questions.
