Think, discuss, explore.
Make Yourself at Home
Inspired by the 17th century coffee house, the essence of The Forum is to promote reason, freedom of thought and the importance of discourse.
Sunday 10th November
The Enlightenment
The Forum is based on the Enlightenment coffee shops of the 17th century. However, the legacy of the movement is hotly debated and we can't just wind the clock back. As we recapture the vibrancy of dialogue and debate, what ideas should we recover from the original time, and what have we learned since then? Whatever conclusions we reach, there is no doubt that free and open dialogue has never been more important in a culture of post-truth and cancellation.
"Good conversation is as stimulating as black coffee, and just as hard to sleep after"
– Anne Morrow Lindbergh
