Martha Spurrier
Coleridge Lectures 2017: Hate, Hostility and Human Rights – A Brave New World
Thu 20 April 2017, 18:30-19:30
Reception Room, Wills Memorial Building
Free, but booking required

As the UK looks to its new future, Martha Spurrier (Director of Liberty) reflects on how human rights – and human rights activists – can offer a national identity of tolerance, diversity and equality, and where the battle lines will be drawn in the months to come.

This lecture is part of an annual series inspired by Samuel Taylor Coleridge’s radical lectures in Bristol in 1795. The 2017 theme is Revolution.

Booking opens 1 March 2017.

We have restricted the number of tickets that can be booked to one per transaction. This has been introduced in an effort to stop people automatically booking multiple tickets without confirming if they have guests to go with them. We hope this will help to limit the number of 'no shows' at the events, which currently run at around 35% of bookings. We will monitor the situation. If you need more than one ticket, you can click on the booking link again. The little extra effort involved will hopefully put off those who don’t really need more than one, but not those who do.

If you like what we do, and want to help us continue to keep our prices low and offer a wide range of free events, then please consider making a donation. Your donation will be made to Bristol Cultural Development Partnership, which manages the Festival, but all donations go to the Festival. Please note that one donation equates to one ticket.

Please ensure you use the correct email address. This is where your ticket will be sent. If you do not provide the correct address, you will not receive the acknowledgement email or ticket.

We share audience data with University of Bristol. Please contact us if you would not like your data shared.
