Events and Talks

Upcoming events which are open to the public in 2013:

  • Tuesday 28 May at University of York at 6.15pm. I am giving a public lecture as part of the Public Lecture Series to celebrate the Department of Education's 50th Anniversary. The talk is entitled "It's about time: Is it real? How do we measure it?" More information is available on their web site. This event is free to the public but you do need to book an e-ticket at the above web site.

  • From Sunday 9 June, I am aboard The Thomson Spirit on a Baltic Cruise. I am hosting "An Audience with Adam Hart-Davis" during the cruise.

  • From Friday 2nd to Sunday 4th August I am at SpoonFest - The International Celebration of the Carved Spoon in Edale, Derbyshire. Last year this event was a sell-out - so if you plan to go, get your tickets soon. On the evening before, Thursday 1st August, I am talking at the official opening ceremony from 8pm.

 

Those events which are open to the public are always listed here, so keep coming back to see if I am doing a public lecture near you.

To book me for another event, after-dinner speech or for anything else, please contact one of my agents.
