Welcome to Warwick Words History Festival 2025

We are delighted to bring you the programme of events for our 2025 History Festival, held from Monday 29 September to Sunday 5 October 2025.

Some of our favourite guests return to Warwick this year, including Tracy Borman BTN SOLD OUT RED200, Helen Carr BTN SOLD OUT RED200, Sarah Dunant, Max Hastings BTN SOLD OUT RED200 and Alison Weir BTN SOLD OUT RED200. New to the History Festival is Sir Tony Robinson BTN SOLD OUT RED200, who joins us for the final event of the main Festival week. Our series of In and Around Warwick events promises some fascinating local history and we continue our popular post-Festival Warwick University Talks, which will again all take place on just one day, Saturday 11 October.

And we are hosting two special History Extra Days, on Saturday 15 November, to welcome Lauren Johnson BTN SOLD OUT RED200, Hugh Sebag-Montefiore and Dan Cruickshank BTN SOLD OUT RED200 and Saturday 22 November, to welcome Janina Ramirez  to introduce their latest publications.

We’re sure you’ll find much of interest in this wide-ranging programme and look forward to seeing you this autumn.
