Hat Sessions: The Hat Sessions are experiential events where thinking comes to life.
Philosophy becomes something you can live and breathe - not to mention touch and taste - in our Philosophy and the Senses series. In recent times festivalgoers have sampled luxury perfumes, indulged their sweet tooth, and attended wine-tasting workshops to explore the mysterious ways in which we experience the world around us.
In our Arc of Life and In Conversation events, the Hat becomes an intimate confessional where the world's leading thinkers tell us what they have learnt about life and what matters to them most. Recently we've heard Nobel prizewinner Paul Krugman's deepest thoughts on the economy and what inspired him in his career, from David Nutt controversial former drug tsar to the British government, and from Emma Barnett on her journalistic career and the honest truth about periods, and more.
Finally, our leading thinkers have been there, done that, and are here to teach you how at our unique How To... workshops, on everything from how to talk about sex to how to land a rover on Mars.
