History tours and events
Our History tours focus on significant events, encounters and destinations, from castle-builders and conquest in medieval Wales to The Making of Argentina; from forces that shaped the Western Balkans to the passion and politics of civil war Spain. Acclaimed historians provide context and analysis on in-depth journeys through place and time.
Central to all our history tours is the choice of lecturer; top academics and experts with first-hand experience of the places and detailed knowledge of the period in question. They include former diplomats, army officers and foreign correspondents – well placed through their myriad contacts to open doors onto the past.
Additionally, our UK based residential history symposia programme presents leading scholarship in digestible and entertaining ways. We run one of two of these events per year – contact us to register your interest.
