Chalke Valley History Festival 2023: June 26th to July 2nd

Yay! The festival is back, with new themes and categories, a wider subject matter than ever before and a far broader range of activities that include talks and discussions on everything from Environment, Conflict, Politics, Science and Exploration, Society & Culture and Sport to live music and living history demonstrations, as well as 'activities the whole family can enjoy.'
