For the entire week we host a large and wide-ranging number of talks, from the time of the ancients to more contemporary subjects. Some very familiar faces can be seen mingling with crowds of eager history enthusiasts, as they join us to give talks, or take part in discussions.
We will be showcasing a wide variety of historical periods with our living historians will be demonstrating a number of activities, from skills at arms through to historic cookery techniques and recipes.
There can be few better places to watch wonderful historic aircraft than against the beautiful backdrop of our Festival.
