We've hosted some brilliant talks in Northampton covering everything from psychology and art history to trauma studies and cultural analysis. Past events have explored fascinating topics like the art history of Studio Ghibli with Helen McCarthy, the psychology of Carl Jung with Dr Manpreet Dhuffar-Pottiwal, trauma and the body with Dr Megan Klabunde, and ADHD in women with Anneka Tomlinson. We've also delved into the science of ADHD and other neuroscience topics. Whether you're based in the town centre, over in Duston or Kingsthorpe, or coming from Milton Keynes or Kettering way, there's always something here to spark your curiosity.
We bring in leading experts who are genuinely passionate about making their subjects accessible to everyone - think university professors, clinical psychologists, neuroscientists, and cultural historians who really know their stuff. Previous Northampton speakers have included Dr Megan Klabunde on trauma, Dr Manpreet Dhuffar-Pottiwal on Jungian psychology, Helen McCarthy on Japanese animation, and Anneka Tomlinson on ADHD. These are top-notch researchers and practitioners who can break down complex ideas in ways that actually make sense.
Tickets typically start from around £15, though prices vary depending on the event and speaker. We reckon learning about science, history, and culture shouldn't cost the earth, so we keep our events affordable. You're getting world-class insights from leading experts without breaking the bank - brilliant value for an evening that could genuinely broaden your horizons.
