Festival of Economics: Where is Britain’s economy headed?

Festival of Economics: Where is Britain’s economy headed? at Watershed

An event held at Watershed on Tuesday 17th November. The event starts at 10:15.


Economic uncertainty has defined 2026 – from the Iran war and the impact of higher oil prices, to the future of devolution given seismic developments in Scotland and Wales, questions both global and closer to home loom large. In this opening session Chaired by Ed Conway (Sky News), panellists will respond to the latest events, attempting to distil clearer stories from the noise. Our new interactive Q&A feature will allow you to give your views and pose your questions too.

Tickets are now available via Eventbrite. Discounts are available for groups (10+ people) and school bookings – get in touch via the Festival of Economics website.
