Sir Tony Robinson has built a remarkable career across stage and screen. Trained at the Central School of Speech and Drama, he began his career in theatre and early television, quickly establishing himself as a talented character actor.

He rose to national prominence in the 1980s with his portrayal of Baldrick in the hugely successful Blackadder, a performance that secured his place in British comedy history. In the years that followed, Sir Tony expanded his career into presenting, becoming the face of Time Team, the ground-breaking archaeological series he fronted for two decades, helping to bring history and archaeology to a wide mainstream audience.

Alongside his television work, he has written extensively for both adults and children, with a particular passion for making history accessible and engaging. His novel; ‘The House of Wolf’, has been shortlisted for the Debut Novel of the Year Award at the national book awards and is a Sunday Times Best Seller. His contributions to the arts and to public understanding of history were recognised with a knighthood for services to culture.

With a career spanning more than fifty years, Sir Tony Robinson remains a distinctive and influential voice in British cultural life.

The event will feature a live on-stage interview with former ITV presenter, Jon Monie.
