the Brighton Salon

Working together with the BoI, we have tried to recreate a similar atmosphere of free and open discussion in the discussions we hold in Brighton.  The Battle of Ideas has been key to creating an enthusiastic and dynamic audience within our Salon.  In particular, it is the participation of Brighton Salon members at the festival as both audience and speakers, that makes the Salon more than willing to promote this unique event.

 Festival Buzz

"Participating in the Battle was a little like entering a Bombay train at rush hour - it's a plunge into a swirl of wildly differing notions of how people should arrange themselves in a really tight situation. When you eventually emerge, you find that you're in a different place from where you started - and that you've been thoroughly energised from the journey. I can't wait to take the trip again next year."
