Welcome to Warwick Words History Festival

Our main History Festival is now over - and what a wonderful time we had, with so many fascinating talks, debates and tours. Thank you to everyone who came, it was lovely to see so many of you.

The Festival has enjoyed fantastic support from you, our audience, and from our Festival guest speakers. It was with great pleasure, that we were able to provide a very special programme of events to celebrate our 10 years.

Among the highlights were returning favourites Max Hastings, Dan Jones and Michael Scott, plus brilliant guests new to the Festival, including Dan Cruickshank, Jonathan Healey, Katja Hoyer and Andrew Roberts.

We were pleased that our association with local organisations continued: Warwick Castle, the University of Warwick and the British Motor Museum, while there was another strong offering in our In and Around Warwick strand, featuring local historians and local histories.

Dates for Warwick Words History Festival 2027 will be announced as soon as possible.
