Exciting news! This is on TOMORROW! I was extremely poorly while filming & was puffed up, medicated, sleep deprived. But I still think it’s one of the best things I’ve made! Super proud. Hope you love it P.S. If you watch it live you’re hard core. Otherwise you can iplayer it xxx

I’m on my way London! See you at 7pm and here’s a link for live feed if you can’t make it for your free hug xxxx www.stmartin-in-the-fields.org/booking/?eve...

Exciting day tomorrow!! Come join me @ivyhousenunhead 5pm. I’m reflecting on years of documentary making with art history. I’ll take you back to the beginning (16 years ago) and right up to now (and the super exciting projects I’m currently working on). Come and enjoy the fun!!

A chance to win a unique piece of Legenda-inspired art!! lnk.to/LegendaPB

Be there, or be 🟥

It’s coming!!!! And it’s BEAUTIFUL 😍😍😍 lnk.to/LegendaPB

Found this absolute gem in the heart of London - St Etheldreda’s Church! Crypt & fabric date from mid thirteenth-century. Was chapel to the palace of the bishops of Ely, hence dedicated to their seventh-century founder Etheldreda. What other medieval marvels am I missing when I visit the capital??

So excited to share a first look at my book Legenda in paperback!! The soft touch covers, the gilding, the colours… oh and the contents are stellar too ✨ Preorder now (link in bio) and get it before general release on 2nd July!! I love and appreciate you all x @EburyPublishing

Well @hayfestival was a blast!!!! Loved every manic second….

Hay Festival is coming and I’m all over Saturday!!!

Happy 100th birthday to the best human to grace the planet - David Attenborough!! I’ve had the honour of working & filming with him. There’s no one I’ve been more excited to meet. It might sound weird, but he was my first crush while everyone else was drooling over Take That. ❤️

Excited to be back in one of my FAVOURITE cathedrals tomorrow - @stalbanscathedral - to talk about Legenda surrounded by medieval relics and remains, art and architecture! I’ve had a rest and a reset, so you’ll be getting me firing on all cylinders!!! 🚀🚀🚀 www.stalbanscathedral.org/event/legend...

VERY excited that TODAY the Schwarzman Centre for the humanities- the single biggest investment in the humanities that Oxford has ever known - will throw open its doors!! I’m talking at 4.15. Come and see me!

More Troy! More Magic!!

HISTORY LOVERS! CLASSICS LOVERS! ARCHAEOLOGY LOVERS! This is BIG news!!! The most incredible things to come out of Troy in 100 years and we’re the only ones allowed in the lab!!!

On an adventure!!!! And one I’ve dreamed of for as long as I can remember!!

I have immersed myself in the book #Legenda by @drjaninaramirez.bsky.social . Fascinating and readable. I am somewhat appalled by my ignorance of certain early modern European history, especially of Greece.

So kind of Paul to write this, put it in an envelope, stick on a stamp & send it to me. Moments like this make everything feel worth it. If you admire someone’s work, their book, their programme, tell them. It’s easy to spread hate. Love takes effort!!! ❤️❤️❤️

Just a little old historian in the heart of power trying to emphasise why the past matters NOW!!!

I’m honoured to be Visiting Professor of Medieval Studies @unilincoln. Spring is coming it’s time to make choices. If one of them is following your passion for #Medieval Studies & Heritage then join us! Our MA has got a new Humanities and #Heritage Placement module starting 2026.

Big Ben is pleased to see me!! Off to the House of Lords!!

EVERYONE is welcome!!! Come to @salisburycathedral 6.30pm tonight for a fiery insight into the legendary women of the past this #internationalwomensday

@pangurban.bsky.social this was the name of my first cat!!

Yes! Tomorrow is #internationalwomensday No. Do not ask me why there isn’t one for men. I can’t imagine a more auspicious place to share the legendary women of the past than in @salisburycathedral !! Come and see me tomorrow and let’s be brave together xxxx

I was in a bit of a funk, but today my mojo came back with a vengeance!!! Onwards fellow warriors……

Very excited to be heading to Cambridge tomorrow!! Come and see me 1.30pm @cambridgejunction.bsky.social xxx

I’m so excited to be back in Norwich tomorrow @norwichplayhouse!! The city is very precious to me. I wrote about Mother Julian & made my favourite documentary searching for her lost manuscript. It will be a joy to be with you. Book here norwichtheatre.org/whats-on/janin…

On the road again!!

Yes I’m exhausted! Yes I’ve been travelling for 24 hours non stop. But what a moment!!!!! So excited to be @jaipurlitfest !!!

Hi peeps! I’ve been on a lovely social media detox, but am back now. In Canterbury tomorrow talking all things Legenda, but it’s sold out! Then… and this is exciting! I’m off to India!!! Can’t wait xxxx

This year for me is about looking after body, mind & soul. I have always thrived in chaos & am best when busy, but I’ve been burying deeper needs to be kind to myself. I love hard on those around me but not on myself. I’m going to take little steps to change. Bring it on 2026!

Research Fellow @drjaninaramirez.bsky.social ended the year with a bang as she embarked on a nationwide tour for new book #Legenda. And in February Janina will be our first guest in a new series of evening talks hosted by our Principal @professorbeth.bsky.social. Read more 👇 tinyurl.com/2pukywfx
