They have inspired terror and ambition, foiled conquering forces, and been deployed as the ultimate expression of wealth, status and supremacy.Jones leads readers on a journey through centuries and across continents as each castle tells a unique story of power, politics and survival, revealing the shifting tides of warfare, the rise and fall of empires, the resilience of people under siege and the flourishing of new ideas.Blending rich storytelling, cutting-edge research and beautiful original illustrations, The Castle is an epic story of how humans first came to build fortifications and how they expanded into powerfully capturing our imagination. With Jones’s trademark scholarship and flair, he shows how defiance, endurance and imagination have been carved into the landscapes we’ve inherited.Dan will talk about his new book before an audience Q&A and book signing.Dan Jones is the New York Times bestselling author of Powers and Thrones, Crusaders, The Templars, The Plantagenets, Wars of the Roses, and Magna Carta, as well as the novel Essex Dogs. He is the host of the podcast This is History: A Dynasty to Die For and has produced, written, and presented dozens of TV shows, including the popular Netflix series Secrets of Great British Castles.For any queries or accessibility requirements, please contact events.nottingham@waterstones.com - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/nottingham/an-evening-with-dan-jones-nottingham/100001990962208561 - **Event Categories**: art, literary-art, dog, storytelling - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Duration: 1 hour - Location: Waterstones - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 5, max: 34, currency: GBP ## Event venue details - **city**: Nottingham - **state**: EN - **country**: United Kingdom - **location**: Waterstones - **lat**: 52.9528973 - **long**: -1.1471437 - **full address**: Waterstones, 1-5 Bridlesmith Gate, Nottingham, United Kingdom ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: An Evening with Dan Jones - Nottingham - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events9/banners/835dda5af6b79c32a19629bbac487fc60c4b571c950bff69205950d681b5ef86-rimg-w1200-h600-dcf3f3f3-gmir.jpg?v=1780716187 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is An Evening with Dan Jones - Nottingham being held? - **A:** An Evening with Dan Jones - Nottingham takes place on Mon, 12 Oct, 2026 at 06:30 pm to Mon, 12 Oct, 2026 at 07:30 pm at Waterstones, 1-5 Bridlesmith Gate, Nottingham, United Kingdom. - **Q**: Who is organizing An Evening with Dan Jones - Nottingham? - **A:** An Evening with Dan Jones - Nottingham is organized by Waterstones. - **Q**: What has been the experience of attendees at Waterstones's events? - **A:** Attendees have given Waterstones a rating of 5/5 based on reviews from early attendees on AllEvents.
