You’re Dead to Me

Join Greg Jenner, host of the hit podcast ‘You’re Dead to Me’, as he talks all things history, from royals to revolutionaries, actors to activists and divas to dictators.

About the event

History isn’t just about dates and textbooks – it’s about extraordinary characters, amazing stories and some very questionable fashion choices.

Whether you want to explore ancient landmarks like Stonehenge and Machu Picchu, dance through the history of Broadway and Bollywood, or find out how the Tudors rose to power, Greg Jenner promises to teach you something new that you won’t have heard in history lessons.

For fans of Greg’s children’s series, ‘Totally Chaotic History’, he will also be hosting a family-friendly event on the Saturday morning of the festival. More details to follow.
