Our venue for the first night of Free Public Lectures was nearly not an option. Closed for 18 months when left to the vagaries of commerce, it was left to a powerful combination of music, spirit and community to bring it back to life.

be on the watch.
The first of the free public lectures comes to the Charles Napier in a little over two weeks, Thursday 1st December, 7:30 start. I hope we get a good crowd for the first event and create a spur for the future events, gathering new speakers and ideas as we progress. The build-up has been an excellent experience in itself, with a new community forming around the organisation of the whole event. Read more
On a brilliant first ever night at the Ragged Alliance Free Lectures, Craig Hammond took us on a wander through Situationism, Ernst Bloch’s Utopia, the perils of managerialism, and gave us tactics to create a better world for ourselves and others. He also prompted a world class heckle that brought the house down!
