More big names added to Chalke History Festival line-up
The popular schools festival will also be returning to Broadchalke
The Chalke History Festival's added more famous faces and not-to-be-missed events to the line-up for this year's programme.
Organisers tell us they're reflecting a truly historical time - with the 80th anniversary of the D-Day landings this summer, and more than half of the world's population taking part in elections this year.
Thousands of people will descend on Broadchalke for a week in July (Monday 24th to Sunday 30th), for what's dubbed the 'Glastonbury of history'.
170 talks and debates are planned across the festival, with some big name additions to the bill.
They include author and journalist Sebastian Faulks, BBC Security Correspondent Frank Gardner, King Crimson guitarist Jakko Jakszyk, and pun pop star turned environmental campaigner Feargal Sharkey.
There's also the return of the popular Chalke Festival for Schools, which has been visited by over 18,000 young people since it launched.
Topics and themes for this year include The French Revolution, The History of Pies, Tudor Women, Sword Smelting, The Rise of The Mounted Knight and The History of Infectious Disease.
More details have also been released about the musical programme which sits alongside the talks on site.
The Saturday Night Party at the festival will be back, with a D-Day themed dance, led by the Swing Ninjas.
We're told the group blends vocal harmonies with a mix of New Orleans’ swing and vintage UK jazz.
The Polka Dots will also bring the sounds of the 30s, 40s and 50s.
