An Evening with Tristan Hughes

Event

Come for Julius Caesar, but stay for Prehistoric Tibet.

That's the promise Tristan Hughes has been keeping twice a week, every week, since launching The Ancients podcast.

Now, the podcast for all ancient history fans takes to the stage for the very first time outside the UK.

Across more than 600 episodes, The Ancients remains endlessly curious in unveiling incredible stories of the past.

Join Tristan Hughes live on-stage as he explores his own past, inspirations, and unpacks some of the iconic stories from ancient history.

Joined each show by a very special guest, Tristan will explore a monumental piece of ancient history: from Mesopotamia to Rome, Kushan to Angkor Wat, there are a rich tapestry of moments fundamental to humanity. It's all up for discussion!

Promising his signature warmth and vivid storytelling, don't miss this opportunity to see Tristan Hughes live on stage for the very first time with The Ancients.
