Extra date for Dan Snow

Due to exceptional ticket sales, as well as Wednesday, March 6, you can now see and listen to Dan Snow’s fascinating talk, which includes some history of Alnwick, on Thursday, March 7, as well.

The popular presenter, and well known historian, broadcaster and television presenter, will be entertaining audiences in the Guest Hall at Alnwick Castle from 7.30pm on both nights.

Often referred to as ‘The History Guy’, Dan will be sharing anecdotes of memorable experiences during his career and will also research and include historical facts and stories relating to Alnwick and the surrounding areas. The show will conclude with a 20-minute question and answer session.
