Festival of Social History

📅 Friday 24 April 2026, 11am-8pm

📍 Senate House, University of London, Bloomsbury

To celebrate 50 years of the Social History Society, we’ve teamed up with the Institute of Historical Research to host a Social History Festival!

The festival will feature two expert discussion panels, a series of interactive stalls (where you will be able to try your hand at historical zine-making and find out about some fascinating projects run by our members), tours of Senate House, an extended lunch for discussion and interaction, a drinks reception, and an evening keynote lecture from our Honorary Vice President Naomi Tadmor.

To help as many of our community attend as possible, we are subsidising tickets so that members can attend for just £10 and non-members for £30.

We warmly welcome history enthusiasts of whatever stripe.
