Stories from the Edge of the World
Join us for an extraordinary evening of ideas, wit, and wonder as Joshua Howgego, Isabel Losada, and Tom Phillips bring big questions down to earth. From stones that fell from the sky to hopeful paths through climate crisis, to our strange obsession with the apocalypse, this is a night that dares to ask: What happens when we zoom out and look at our world from the outside in?
Three expert speakers deliver TED-style talks designed to challenge perceptions and change your life for the better. Showcasing the most stimulating ideas in arts, science, and history, each scintillating speaker has the challenge of engaging their audience within a 25-minute set, interspersed with intervals where you can chat, get a signed book from the speaker, or grab a drink at the bar.
Voted number six in the ‘Top 100 Things to do in the World’ by GQ magazine, Salon is a night out that will enlighten, entertain, excite your curiosity and change your life for the better.

Tom Phillips
