This year’s festival runs from September 30 to October 6 with a programme that features a great selection of history talks, guided walks and displays.
“The History Festival has been a great event for the city for more than a decade now, and we’re keen to keep evolving it and attract new audiences to discover more about Plymouth’s fascinating heritage,” said organiser Slain McGough Davey.
“This year, we’ve moved it to October to coincide with the start of Black History Month which has given us a great opportunity to collaborate with new partners. We’ve also kept events in locations that are central or near major transport hubs, to make our programme as accessible and affordable as possible.”
Talks are being hosted at The Box and start on Sunday, October 1 with a presentation by Greg Foxsmith and Matt Tiller about the Jack Leslie Campaign.
