What's On Today

Events on Monday 26th October

“We'll look at how cats went from sacred animals in ancient times to symbols of superstition and fear, and what our long, complicated relationship with cats says about us. Along the way, expect strange stories, surprising history, and a closer look at why cats still fascinate us today.”

“In answering these questions, Julian will explore how the modern world leads us to repeatedly lose sight of what is truly of value in life and why individual and collective flourishing is so elusive today. Drawing on themes that have emerged across several of his 20+ books, he will offer insights for how we might live the good life every day – in small ways as well as big – and help those around us to do the same.”
From: Julian Baggini: The Art of Flourishing

“We are living through fractured and anxious times. *Dream Time* is a poetry collection that explores the delicate intersection between the conscious and unconscious realms. How do we navigate this uncertain world? Drawing inspiration from dreams, and storytelling, *Dream Time* delves into themes of memory, identity, and transformation and takes us through the unreal land of the lockdown experience, how this still resonates today, and the confusions caused new technology. *Dream Time* is an invitation to journey beyond the waking world into a place where time is fluid, and reality bends.”
From: Kate Noakes: *Sublime Lungs* & Lucy English: *Dream Time*
