Inner Circle

Inner Circles are you chance to sit down to a meal alongside world-leading thinkers like Minna Salami, Paul Muldoon and Johnjoe McFadden.

Converse with Nobel laureates, challenge the shadow cabinet, and explore the universe with particle physicists in open-ended encounters totally removed from the ivory tower.

Be part of the discussion, not merely an observer. You won't get this chance anywhere else!

Salon events last 2 hours, all other Inner Circle events last 1 hour.
