Sink into comfy sofas, graze on delicious food, sip on something special, and listen to live talks and live podcast-style conversations. We set the scene for the ultimate laid-back Sunday.

Past speakers have included Lord Sumption, Deborah Frances White, Jon Snow, Dan Schreiber and Rose McGowen.
A full schedule of activities is sent to our mailing list one week prior to the show.
Expect epic roasts served on long social tables, or find a quiet spot to tuck in wherever you like.

Talks run from 12pm to 6pm with a full schedule throughout the day. You’re free to dip in and out as you like - or stay for the lot. There’s plenty happening around the venue too, including craft workshops, a guided walk, and our ever-popular live crossword.
Roasts will be available to pre-order around a month before the event HERE. We’ll email all ticket holders once they go on sale. You can also order on the day - but they do sometimes sell out, so pre-ordering is a smart move.
