We will be announcing the full talks timetable when ticket sales are launched at the end of April.

This summer, over 150 talks and debates will be delivered by eminent historians, writers and commentators.

As ever, our Pop-up series of talks will be announced at the festival.

Adding to our fantastic line-up of speakers, we are very excited to have Ken Tout, a veteran of one of the most famous tank engagements of WWII, and John Jammes, an ex-member of the French Resistance and winner of the Croix de Guerre, both promise to be particularly special events.
