Pondering the future is a very human trait, and millions of pounds and thousands of hours have been spent on imagining the future – from novels, films, and art, through to science. Together with friends and Distinguished Supporters of the British Humanist Association we will help to unravel some of the pressing questions and take a humanist look at representations of the future in art, literature, and science.

Tickets include full access to all the talks, entertainment on the Friday night featuring comedy and the legendary pub-quiz, and a gala dinner on the Saturday evening will include the presentation of an award for services to Humanism.

Tickets are available from the BHA website. Prices start at £99
