Talking in a relaxed TED-style format, the guests will uncover what needs to change in our approach to sustainability, nutrition, and digital culture – offering sharp insights and fresh perspectives on how we can do better.

Sustainability expert, successful author and Professor at Lancaster University Mike Berners-Lee will discuss climate action and ask “who’s really in control?.

Voted number six in the "Top 100 Things to do in the World” by GQ, these unique cabaret-style evenings, are presented by Harrogate International Festivals and sponsored by Berwins Solicitors.
