READ THE FAQS

What’s included in my entry ticket?

Entry to all talks, living history areas, performance, live music, emporium, Waterstones book shop and food outlets, are all included in your entry ticket. In past years, talk tickets were sold separately but this led to confusion and complication for festival visitors. We decided to include all talks in your entry ticket so that you can enjoy all the talks on offer without the hassle of booking additional tickets.

Can I buy an evening ticket?

Yes, for those unable to join us for a full day, evening tickets can be bought for the festival from Monday – Saturday. These tickets will be available from April.

Where can I find the full festival line-up?

The full line-up is available here.

How can I reserve seats for talks?

All visitors to the festival will have access to watch the talks. However, only members of the Chalke History Club are able to reserve seats. As well as supporting the festival, Club members are entitled to numerous online and festival benefits, including access to past talks, live winter talks and festival parking.
