The Chalke History Festival

An extraordinary celebration of our past! Since 2011, we’ve evolved into the UK’s leading history festival, attracting hundreds of thousands of history enthusiasts, including tens of thousands of school children.

Be inspired by the bravery, ingenuity and extremes of existence retold and explored through a week long itinerary of talks, events and curated experiences from the greatest writers, academics & performers.

Sample the sights sounds and smells of the paste.

Our living history encampments range from the Stone Age through to the Second World War and offer an opportunity to sample the sights, sounds and smells of the past. Our historians are all experts in their field and are actively learning more about our predecessors from the process of living with and using the materials of earlier ages. There will be a number of scheduled talks and displays but all our living historians are happy to talk at any time and share their extraordinary – and often unique – knowledge. 

Let us take you on a journey through time…

Note: As the programme tends to be very complex we have not attempted to replicate it here. We have marked each day of the event as ‘All day’. It extends over several days including evening events. Camping is available. Visit the Chalke History Festival website to plan your visit and buy tickets.
