The Young Historians at Chalke History Festival

On Saturday the 28th of June, our Head of Communications Harvey and Editor-in-Chief Tom were invited down to the 2026 Chalke History Festival. As our second year attending the festival representing The Young Historians, we thoroughly enjoyed taking in the atmosphere across talks from leading historians, living history stands, and immersive experiences. A particular highlight was the second annual ‘Chalke Introduces’ networking event, which we were very happy to be a part of and where it was brilliant to see some old and new faces. A big thank you from all at TYH to Chalke for inviting us down again this year, and we look forward to next years’ festival!
