Alice Loxton

“Alice Loxton is the star of her generation - the next big thing in history” - Dan Snow

I’m a 27-year-old historian, presenter and author with over a million followers on social media.

PRESENTER

I’m passionate about bringing history to mainstream audiences, having worked with History Hit, BBC, Channel 4, Call of Duty, LadBible, Minecraft, Xbox, The National Trust and many other charities and organisations.

I’ve presented multiple times with the likes of Dan Snow and Dan Cruickshank, and recently I’ve been presenting whilst abseiling down the facade of Wells Cathedral, cantering around the grounds of Stourhead, rowing across a vast lake, trying on the most elaborate costumes of the Bath Fashion Museum and climbing the scaffolding of Salisbury Cathedral! Phew! You can see many of my documentaries at History Hit TV and on the History Hit YouTube channel, or have a watch of my showreel, here. My agent is Helen Purvis - please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

SOCIAL MEDIA

I’m also big on TikTok and Instagram (@history_alice) which is great fun - and a brilliant way to engage people in bitesize historical delights! My TikTok and Instagram following numbers over one million - which is (as far as I’m aware) the largest of any UK historian on these channels.

WRITING

My debut non-fiction history book, UPROAR!, was released on 2nd March 2023, and it’s been a wonderful reception, being at the top of several bestselling charts. For writing work I’m represented by Hardman and Swainson, and my publisher is Icon Books. My writing has previously featured in The Telegraph, The Critic, Country Life Magazine and BBC Music Magazine. I’m also on the Times Diary team.https://aliceloxton.com/home
