CHALKE HISTORY FESTIVAL 2025

History of War

Issue 145

This year’s event will feature household names, new talks and a fresh festival layout

Britain’s largest history festival has announced a new site layout, including bigger tents and places to discuss history with your fellow festival-goers. Organisers have also unveiled a fantastic lineup of speakers.

The Chalke History Festival will begin with new Twilight Talks, held on the Monday and Tuesday evenings. Organised as lively discussions, some of these talks will be on broad subjects like revolution, republic and liberal democracy; more specific lectures will coincide with the 400th anniversary of James I's death and explore author Hilary Mantel's legacy, reflecting on the 2024 BBC adaption of The Mirror and the Light.
