Our Autumn Series brings another eclectic range of topics, including what's bound to be a rigorous debate about the best detective of all time, an introduction to the fascinating world of Sound Design and an opportunity to plan your arts-related trips next year.

• Wednesday 25^th September 2024: Who was the Master Detective, the Greatest of all Time?

Four speakers make the case for their own favourite, then we will open up for a discussion where you can agree, disagree, or argue for your own detective before we have a vote at the end of the evening.

• Wednesday 30^th October 2024: “Sound is Half the Picture.”

George Lucas’s famous quote refers to film, but it is equally important in theatre productions and live events. Carolyn Downing, the multi-award-winning sound designer of ‘Life of Pi’, ‘Chimerica’, ‘All My Sons’ and the 2022 Commonwealth Games, joins us to talk about this little-known but vital area of the arts.

• Wednesday 27^th November 2024: Looking Ahead to the Arts in 2025
