About Towton Audio ®

Towton Audio ® is a unique publishing platform for epic historic audio drama which we produce ourselves with our talented team of writers, actors, directors, producers, sound technicians and musicians.

We offer an immersive experience which goes beyond the mere transactional nature of a purchase and informs the listener about every aspect of the production from the historic setting to the author’s motivation, the actors back stories and the historian’s viewpoint.  We are building a dynamic and vibrant brand that all serious audio producers will wish to be associated with and listeners will increasingly gravitate towards due to the quality of the drama and the value for money offered.  We will aim to captivate and inform thereby creating an exciting, successful and diverse enterprise.

We will continue to commission further historic audio dramas as well as collaborating with other independent producers, writers and drama colleges.

We have developed three production formats spanning full cast audio drama, an interview format involving an accomplished broadcast journalist and some of the most inspiring people from history and a Great Battles format with a military historian in conversation set against a dramatic backdrop.

Our brand derives its name from the village in Yorkshire which was the site of the bloodiest battle ever fought on English soil which took place on Palm Sunday in 1461 during what became known as the Wars of the Roses.  The battle features in the final episode of our Kingmaker: Winter Pilgrims series which was adapted for audio by Greg Evans from Toby Clements marvellous book. 

Our logo is partially inspired by the Towton Cross also known as Lord Dacre’s Cross which is situated at the site of the battle some 14 miles southwest of York.
