Ideas Cafe evening talks
What is Ideas Cafe?
Ideas Café is a schedule of free social events that explore a diversity of fascinating subjects in an informal setting. Speakers come from all backgrounds and subjects can cover local and global history, science, technology and the natural world. The audience is free to contribute their own ideas or questions, or simply to sit back and enjoy the discussion. Bring friends, relax with wine and nibbles, and enjoy an inspiring evening of stimulating conversation and discovery.
