Do I need to know about philosophy?

Not at all! This is an informal session using the Philosophy for Communities facilitation method. We'll start from a shared stimulus - such as an image, a song or a news story - and then get talking about the ideas. No specialist skills required - just a willingness to listen as well talk.

How will I find the group?

We'll be upstairs. Grab a drink at the bar when you come in and then come on up.

What if stairs are a problem for me?

Unfortunately there isn't a lift at this venue. Please do get in touch if this is an issue as I'm always on the look out for venues that are accessible for everyone.

Do I have to buy a drink?

No, you only need to book a space to attend. However, Over the Yardarm are kindly letting us use the room for free, so it's great if you're able to support them by buying something at the bar.

Will I feel awkward if I arrive by myself?

It's fine to come with a friend, but it's also excellent to join solo. Of course it can feel a bit daunting the first time, but hopefully you'll feel at ease pretty soon. There will be introductions and prompts to get you talking with other actual humans.

Actual Humans: thinking and talking together

Rosie Carnall

Pop-up Pub Philosophy - meet with other actual humans for an evening of discussion about the big ideas that make a difference every day. How do you know you can trust someone? What does it mean to be free? Is this art? Arrive any time from 7.15pm, grab a drink at the bar (downstairs) and then make your way upstairs and grab a seat. We'll start at 7.30pm with some introductions and then crack on with the main topic. There'll be a break half way through and we'll finish around 9.30pm. The bar's open until 11 though if you find you want to pursue the discussion.
