Chalke History Festival
The Chalke History Festival: An extraordinary celebration of our past! Since 2011, we've evolved into the UK's leading history festival, attracting hundreds of thousands of history enthusiasts, including tens of thousands of school children.
Our Mission: Illuminating the future through the past.
History is not just a sequence of events. History is our compass, guiding us as we navigate our complex world. It reminds us of our origins, enlightens our present, and projects the possibilities of our future.
Making History Accessible: The festival is not-for-profit. As a charity, the Chalke History Trust, we're committed to making history accessible and engaging, especially for the younger generation. Our Festival for Schools kickstarts a week of learning and discovery, igniting a passion for history in thousands of students.
