Ludlow History Festival
Running from 21st–30th August 2026, the festival will celebrate Ludlow’s extraordinary heritage through an immersive programme of theatre, music, comedy, storytelling, talks, guided walks and hands-on activities - all set in the very places where history unfolded.
'Aggie' will be on Saturday 22nd August at 2pm. (Maxine Peake is performing that evening).
Katherine Plymley (1758-1829) was a south Shropshire diarist whose journals contain fascinating accounts of her travels, connections with significant people of the day, and her close involvement with the Abolition movement. The first part of the talk will explore her life and times with illustrations. The second half will be performed in character, using the words of Katherine herself.
If you are hosting one of my talks or performances that will be open to the public,
please let me know and I will share details here.
