An Evening with ‘The History Guy’

Where: Cheltenham Town Hall

When: Wednesday, June 20, 7.30pm

Well-known historian and TV presenter Dan Snow will recount anecdotes of memorable experiences from his successful career as a historian and broadcaster at Cheltenham Town Hall.

Otherwise known as 'The History Guy', Dan will also research and include historical facts and stories relating to Cheltenham and the surrounding area and region and will be aided by the use of digital screens.

The show will be an undoubted success amongst historians, academics, students (schools and universities), families (young and old) and all those interested in the historical facts, legends and myths of their own region and town.

The show will conclude with a 20-minute Q&A.

Dan Snow presents history programmes for the BBC and other broadcasters, has a history slot on The One Show and hosts the podcast, Dan Snow's History Hit.

He was born and raised in London, and remembers spending every weekend of his childhood being taken to castles, battlefields, country houses and churches.

Dan is the son of BBC broadcaster Peter Snow, nephew of Channel 4 Newsreader Jon Snow and the great, great grandson of British Prime Minister David Lloyd George.

He developed a great love of history which he went on to pursue at Oxford University. While there he also rowed in the Boat Race three times.

He left Oxford and immediately started presenting military history programmes with his father, Peter Snow. Their series, Battlefield Britain, won a BAFTA award. He went on to make programmes around the world on a range of historical topics.
