About

The Merchant's House is thrilled to present History Live, a week-long festival celebrating history in all its forms. This inaugural event promises something for everyone: from engaging lectures and a walking tour of Marlborough to visits to Wilton Windmill and Shaw House.

• An exclusive audience with renowned archaeologist Phil Harding
• A special screening of A Kingdom in Chaos at The Parade Cinema
• Experience a magical twilight tour of The Merchant's House
• Live music from Andrew Rumsey
• And a virtual tour of The Merchant's House New York

History Live invites visitors to step back in time, explore local heritage, and experience history in a dynamic, interactive way. Organisers hope this marks the start of a landmark annual event for Marlborough.
In Partnership with North Wessex Downs Landscape Trust and Wiltshire Historic Buildings Trust.
