Talks: The Love Lectures

BUY TICKETS

The Love Lectures — In a world loud with hate, love louder.

Inspiring expert speakers who will change how you think about love — and what you do with it. One extraordinary evening. Manchester, 18th May, 7.30pm. Anthony Burgess Foundation.

The Love Lectures explore love in all its forms. The first event showcases experts on fandom, AI companions, self-worth, heartbreak, belonging… Each talk ends with just one thing: an achievable idea to make your world, and the lives of those around us, a little better.

Get a ticket and you’ll discover an event designed to connect the people in the room with great ideas, with each other, and with themselves.

Expect moments that surprise you and maybe even challenge you gently.

Curated and hosted by Savvy Productions founder Justine Potter — Drama and Documentary Producer who has spent a career telling extraordinary human stories. The Love Lectures is where those stories come alive.

Be in the room where it happens. Tickets from £10. Capacity 100. Don’t wait.
