Caitlin Moran - How To Be Hopeful

If you have been following Caitlin Moran’s work, you might be interested to know she is bringing her new tour, How To Be Hopeful, to the Brighton Dome on Sunday, 13 September 2026. The event is centred around the release of her latest book, which explores her personal search for optimism in a world often dominated by anxiety and the constant cycle of news. Rather than focusing on global headlines, the book looks at how to reconnect with our immediate, everyday surroundings.

The evening at the Corn Exchange is set up as a talk where Moran will be joined by guest hosts. A significant part of the format includes an audience Q&A, giving attendees a chance to engage directly with the topics she covers. It is worth noting that the book itself is officially published on 17 September, so this event serves as an early look at the material. For those planning to attend, doors open at 18:45, with the main event starting at 19:30.

Regarding the logistics, there are two main ticket options available. You can purchase a 'Show only ticket' for £33.50, or opt for a 'Ticket & Book Bundle' priced at £44.50, which includes a hardcover copy of the book—a title that retails for £22 on its own. If you are a member of the Brighton Dome & Brighton Festival, there is a £2 discount available on the full ticket price. It is also useful to keep in mind that anyone under the age of 14 must be accompanied by an adult. Whether you are a long-time reader of her previous books like How to be a Woman or simply interested in the themes of modern wellbeing and literature, the event offers a chance to hear these ideas discussed in person.
