Cabaret-style evening of 30-minute talks on arts, science and psychology with Dr Daisy Dixon, Professor Ben Alderson-Day and Dr Campbell Price.
Raworths Salon North returns to The Crown Hotel on Thursday 12 November, with three talks running from 7:30pm. This one brings together Dr Daisy Dixon, Professor Ben Alderson-Day and Dr Campbell Price, each taking a turn at the mic across the evening.
If you haven't come across it before, the Salon is billed as a 'night out for your brain' — a mix of arts, science and psychology brought into a cabaret-style setting. The idea is to put big ideas from those different fields in one room and see where they connect, and it's hosted by producer and presenter Natasha Knight. It's sponsored by Raworths Solicitors, and GQ once named it one of the 'Top 100 Things to Do in the World'.
The format is straightforward: each talk runs for about 30 minutes, including questions and answers, with intervals in between. That means you get three distinct presentations in one sitting rather than one long lecture, and you'll have a chance to ask things as you go. Between the talks, the local bookseller Imagined Things runs a bookstall on the night, so there's plenty to browse while you're waiting for the next speaker to take over.
