Welcome to Warwick Words History Festival

We are delighted to invite you to join us this year for some very special events, as we celebrate 10 years of the Warwick Words History Festival.

For a decade, our Festival events have been bringing history to life here in Warwick - and 2026 promises to be our most exciting year yet.

Our celebrations start on Wednesday 29 April when Festival favourite Tracy Borman joins us for an exclusive event at Warwick Hall to introduce her new novel, The House of Boleyn. We are especially pleased to welcome Tracy, who has generously agreed to be our Honorary Festival Patron in this important year in the development of the Festival.

The full Festival programme will be announced in July, but we can promise you many must-see events from other Festival favourites, including Dan Jones, Alison Weir, Michael Scott, Max Adams, Gareth Russell ... plus many more!

We look forward to seeing you at our 2026 Festival, which takes place from Monday 5 to Sunday 11 October.
