About Edward Hammond

Through my inherent love of history, I have my own series of talks that I have designed which cover a wide range of topics. I have a particular interest and passion for the Napoleonic Wars and ancient history, with my first ever talk following the fascinating story of Hannibal Barca's conflict with the Romans. I also have a First Class Honours degree in History from Nottingham Trent University, alongside an MA from the University of Nottingham.

Equipment needed: Digital projector, screen, table

All of my talks are illustrated and delivered on PowerPoint presentations, accompanied usually with some display material for the audience to look at and experience at their leisure!

For each talk I typically charge a fee of £80 (I may charge more for groups of over 40 and also for travel expenses depending on the distance), and I aim for them to last around an hour. Evenings are preferable due to work commitments, but if enough notice is given I am normally able to accommodate a daytime talk.
