Dan Snow Digs Up Some History In Darlington

Historian, broadcaster and television presenter Dan Snow comes to Darlington Hippodrome on Sunday 17 June.

Dan is the son of legendary broadcaster Peter Snow, nephew of the Channel 4 newsreader Jon Snow and great grandson of British Prime Minister David Lloyd George.

On Sunday 17 June Dan will share memorable anecdotes from his career as an historian and broadcaster, enhanced with compelling digital imagery. The night will also see Dan present his own exclusive local history with facts about Darlington and the surrounding area. There will also be an opportunity to engage with Dan during a post-show Q&A session.

Dan developed a great love of history at Oxford University. While there he also rowed in the Boat Race three times. He left with a double first in history and started presenting military history programmes with his father, Peter Snow. Their series, Battlefield Britain, won a BAFTA award in 2006.

During the course of his work Dan has flown Second World War aircraft, been gassed, shovelled muck in a sewer under London for a day, contracted pneumonia and been trained as a sniper.
