Talks: The Love Lectures

  • Mon 18 May 2026
  • 7:00 pm
  • £16.00
BUY TICKETS share

WHY: In a world where the noise of hate can seem really loud, many of us feel powerless but what I witness every day is small and large acts of kindness and love that really do speak louder – and I think we all see them too.

WHAT: One evening, six talks on love in a space filled with it.
Because love isn’t just something we feel, it is something we do; so let’s do it together.
Let’s laugh, let’s get curious, let’s get inspired, let’s grow with love.

INSPIRATION: Love is a wide topic so we’re leaning into the wonderful Bell Hooks definition of love in it’s many forms. Love is…. “Care – Commitment – Knowledge – Responsibility – Respect – Trust”.

Inspired by the sister event The Sex Lectures.
