The one-time Iron Lady of British politics will be the guest at a Tory fund-raising event in St Osyth next month.
The meeting is a coup for North Essex MP Bernard Jenkin.
Former prime minister Margaret Thatcher, Baroness Thatcher of Grantham, will be at a reception at St Osyth Priory on March 19 to give her support to Mr Jenkin in this year's General Election.
Mr Jenkin said: "I think she is only helping no more than three or four candidates.
"I do not think she will be giving a speech. This is not a rally it is a low-key, fundraising event for Conservative supporters in north Essex."
