I’m delighted to be speaking at the premier history festival, Chalke Valley, at the end of the month. I’ll be (mainly) discussing Restoration, all things to do with 1666, and probably Lord Rochester, but there’ll be plenty of other things in there as well. I’m talking at 8.45pm, so expect a suitably oiled-up crowd. Never fear, I can take it.

If you’d like to come and heckle me, details are at www.cvhf.org.uk. It should be a good evening…
