Join us in September for a mouthwatering programme of over 200 events including more than 100 of Britain’s top speakers at the iconic Blackfriars Priory in Gloucester.

Max Hastings, Kate Mosse, Dan Jones, Alison Weir, Clare Mulley and Nathen Amin are just some of the world-class historians joining us this autumn.

Join former Royal Marine Commando and historian Denis Sparrow as he tells the turbulent story of Yemen and Aden, exploring fascinating parallels with today’s Middle East, and gives a compelling eye-witness account, both gripping and humorous, of life under fire in a British outpost at the end of Empire.

Join Janina Ramirez, leading TV presenter and author of the Sunday Times bestseller Femina, and Shalina Patel prize-winning broadcaster, teacher and creator of Instagram history sensation The History Corridor, as they tell the stories of some extraordinary women and ask: what are the challenges facing today’s historians working at the sharp end of history?
