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, Castles 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.About the author:For further information on Dan Jones' catalogue of works, please visit our author page:Dan Jones Books | WaterstonesAccessibility:Please email events.york@waterstones.com for assistance enquiries.City Screen Picturehouse is wheelchair accessible and has a customer lift up to Screen 1. https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events3/banners/16d32f60-a813-11f1-a4a1-eb59356bc08b-rimg-w493-h740-dc080808-gmir.jpg - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/york/an-evening-with-dan-jones┃city-screen-picturehouse-york/100001991070304880 - **Event Categories**: art, literary-art, storytelling - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Age Limit: all_ages - door_time: 2026-10-14T17:40:00Z - Duration: 2 hours - Location: City Screen Picturehouse - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 15, max: 38, currency: GBP ## Event venue details - **city**: York - **state**: EN - **country**: United Kingdom - **location**: City Screen Picturehouse - **lat**: 53.95917009999999 - **long**: -1.0848198 - **full address**: City Screen Picturehouse, 13-17 Coney Street, York, United Kingdom ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: An Evening with Dan Jones┃City Screen Picturehouse York - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events8/banners/7862ee579af911ee104d8b16e0198c657657e615af9d05d9673c1bd03c5dc4ec-rimg-w1200-h600-dcf3f3f3-gmir.jpg?v=1780719970 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is An Evening with Dan Jones┃City Screen Picturehouse York being held? - **A:** An Evening with Dan Jones┃City Screen Picturehouse York takes place on Wed, 14 Oct, 2026 at 07:00 pm to Wed, 14 Oct, 2026 at 09:00 pm at City Screen Picturehouse, 13-17 Coney Street, York, United Kingdom. - **Q**: Who is organizing An Evening with Dan Jones┃City Screen Picturehouse York? - **A:** An Evening with Dan Jones┃City Screen Picturehouse York 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.
