Events programme

Here is the schedule of conversations, workshops and live social games that took place throughout the festival. Some were in-person at Somerset House, some online, and some were hybrid.

Timed tickets gave you access to everything that was happening for a three hour slot. For those who wanted to join multiple in-person events across the weekend, the weekend Festival Pass included full access to the programme, hang out space and the festival party.

We worked hard to ensure all visitors to the festival are as safe as possible. Read about our COVID-19 safety measures here.
