Welcome to

Tewkesbury History Festival


Thank you to everyone who joined us at this year's Tewkesbury History Festival (18-21 June 2026). We were delighted to be joined by some wonderful speakers and lots of visitors. 

Tewkesbury History Festival will be back 10-13 June in 2027. We are now working on next year's programme. Please check back in early 2027 to see the full programme. 

Whether you are fascinated by the strategy behind the Wars of the Roses, the cultural splendour of the Renaissance, or the hidden social histories found behind our own front doors, the festival offers a window into the defining moments of history.


We invite you to lose yourself in the stories of rebels, queens, and visionaries, and let the spirit of discovery lead you through our amazing and beautiful town. Join us for an unforgettable journey through history, right here in the heart of Tewkesbury.
