TEDxWinchester Salon - Community Dinner

In 2026 TEDxWinchester will build upon 5 successful years of delivering sold-out events in the city and hold its first TEDx Salon event.

Salons are a unique kind of TEDx gathering which allows conversations to continue, in person, and spark discussions on issues of interest to our local community.

Organised by volunteers, this event will take the format of a community dinner, creating space for another form of shared experience, with short verbal updates from some of the speakers the TEDxWinchester community have heard from over the past 5 years.

We will be hosted by the wonderful team at The South Downs Social - a Winchester independent that has built a solid reputation for first class hospitality and outstanding food.

We'll be hearing from 2 of our previous TEDxWinchester speakers with short updates on life since their TEDx talks! Hear from Jennie Maizels from 2024 and Matt Pitcher from 2025!

Join us for an evening of connection, curiosity and community.
