Praise for the 2021 Festival
“Green slopes bathed in sunlight, translucent blue skies at dusk, magical talks round the fireside, the jolly crowds, especially young people, and terrific re-enactors this year.” MICHAEL WOOD
“It is the most civilised festival you will ever go to and really is something special.” SLOW TRAVEL
Regarded as an integral part of the summer festivals calendar, The Daily Mail Chalke Valley History Festival is set to return from 20–26th June, 2022 and promises to be more exciting and interactive than ever before. After a slightly shortened version in 2021, this year it will be back to seven days, packed full of historical entertainment, inspiring discussions, fun for all the family and featuring the very best historians in the land. Also back for 2022 is the Chalke Valley History Festival for Schools, which will run for two days and will offer a curriculum-based programme of events designed to encourage pupils to learn about history through a series of immersive activities and engaging talks.
