Talks, Debates and Demonstrations
Warwick will play host to a series of talks, debates and entertaining events at the Festival with the theme ‘Imagining the Future’. Providing a platform for discussion, dispute and thought leading approaches to the way forward for the culture, health, wealth, equality, the human body and humanity, your mind will be enlightened and inspired.
With a fond, funny and fast paced look back over the last 50 years we welcome our 50th Anniversary partners Cheltenham Festivals to the Arts Centre Theatre to remind us of how the world has changed, here at Warwick and beyond.
In a fresh, light hearted but informative way we are presenting cookery classes on campus with an academic twist. Three award winning chefs will be combining their culinary skills with the expertise of academics from Warwick Medical School to really get to the bottom of how we should be buying, cooking and eating food for a healthier future.
