A Very Warm Welcome to Warwick Words History Festival 2026

Since 2016, the Warwick Words History Festival has enjoyed fantastic support from you, our audience, and from our Festival guest speakers. It is with great pleasure, therefore, that we bring you a very special programme of events to celebrate those 10 years.

Among the highlights are returning favourites Max Hastings, Dan Jones, Michael Scott and Alison Weir, plus brilliant guests new to the Festival, including Dan Cruickshank, Jonathan Healey, Katja Hoyer and Andrew Roberts. We are pleased that our association with local organisations continues: Warwick Castle, the University of Warwick and the British Motor Museum return with events this year, while there is a strong offering in our In and Around Warwick strand, featuring local historians and local histories.

We’re sure you will find something here to enjoy, whatever your interest – we very much look forward to seeing you in Warwick this autumn to join in our celebration of 10 years!
