The Culture Section at Sunday Papers Live
 

Sunday Papers Live brings classic Sunday rituals - reading the paper, a roast, a walk - into a live shared setting inside a laid-back London house.

The Observer is partnering with Sunday Papers Live to offer Culture Club subscribers a complimentary ticket to the Culture Section on Sunday 17th May. 

Step into our Sunday House for an afternoon of live talks, food, drink and things to do. Settle in with a roast, make something in the crafternoon corner, or take part in our live charade-style crossword.

 

At the heart of the day, on our living room stage, two live, podcast-style conversations bring the culture pages to life, delivered by a line-up of leading journalists, writers, comedians, poets and activists.
