Writers at the Castle: History Weekend

Friday – Sunday, November 5th – 7th

Join us at The Castle for a weekend in the company of six of today’s most distinguished and exciting historians: Mary Beard, Tim Blanning, Richard Holmes, Tristram Hunt, Helen King, Ian Mortimer. They will be talking to us about their books, their research and the nature of the study of history today.

These eminent historians will be with you for the whole weekend, so you’ll be able to listen to their talks and to join in the discussions. They are stimulating and thought-provoking speakers and you’ll have plenty of opportunities to ask questions and to chat to them. They’ll be talking to you about a wide variety of historical topics from the destruction of Pompeii to the fall of Basra, from Henry V to Friedrich Engels, from ancient Greek medicine to the Romantic revolution.

You should also have ample opportunity to meet the historians one to one during refreshment breaks, over dinner or wherever you might bump into them, as they’ll be staying with us here at The Castle.

This is an ‘exclusive’ weekend, which means there will be no other guest staying at the hotel and the number of residential participants is limited to only 64. A number of tickets are available to non-residents for individual sessions.
