Tuesday 18 June and Day 6 of the Festival of Ideas. We had a fantastic talk by Brian Sewell last night, with a full house and some excellent feedback from people who came to hear him speak.
Ailsa Mainman from York Archaeological Trust gave a talk in Jorvik on Anglo-Saxon York, which was very well-received.

"One of the reasons I am an academic failure is because I am interested in too much" -

"We would learn so much more about art if we knew more about the lives of painters"

Today we have TV historian Michael Wood with
'King of all Britain: New light on King Athelstan' - although the talk is showing as sold out, we do always have a number of spare seats that are available for people who turn up on spec. Or if that one doesn't appeal, why not come to hear about '
How Lloyd George solved the Irish problem', or even a lecture on the legend of highwayman
Dick Turpin!
