The first UK festival dedicated to military history will take place in Hereford this autumn.
Tickets have gone on sale for the three-day event in late September, which organisers say will include ‘a rich and varied programme of talks, panel discussions, and performances’.
Speakers already confirmed include Sir Antony Beever, who in conversation with Major General Arthur Denaro will discuss the evolution of warfare through history.
Also in the line-up are British politician Nicholas Soames, who will talk about the life of his grandfather Winston Churchill; and Ben Macintyre, whose most recent book explored the Iranian Embassy siege of 1980.
According to organisers, the festival will take place across several of the city’s historic venues, including the cathedral, the Green Dragon Hotel, and the newly refurbished Castle Green Pavilion.
Tickets for the festival, which runs from 26 to 28 September, are available at http://www.herefordmilitaryhistoryfestival.com, while more details can be found on here.
