History of UK Events

 

Welcome to the History of UK Events section of the Events Management support site.

The UK has a rich history of events. Many modern day events were established decades ago, with some claiming a history spanning centuries. Building on Chapter One of Events Management, the aim of the History of UK Events is to chart the historical basis of the UK events industry and provide links to further sources of information spanning time from establishment of the event, through to the most recent event.

The History of UK Events is not meant to be a static reference, rather a developing resource for students, academics and professionals and the good news is that you can contibute to this project. If you are aware of further materials available on a particular event, or events that are not currently included in the timeline, why not submit these so that they can be included? (click here).
