We’re delighted actor, presenter and historical expert Tony Robinson is returning to Chalke this year with a thrilling journey into the turbulent world of early medieval Britain and beyond. From the intrigue of Rome to the fractured royal court of Wessex and the violence of Viking raids, this is a story of ambition, betrayal, and survival. As kingdoms falter and rivals circle, unlikely figures – priests, princes, and outsiders – find themselves at the heart of a struggle that could reshape the future of England. Packed with drama, dark humour, and vivid storytelling, Robinson brings this dangerous, unpredictable world to life; where loyalties shift, enemies close in, and the path to power is anything but certain.
