About this Event

The Love Lectures — In a world loud with hate, love louder.

Six genuinely surprising speakers who will change how you think about love — and what you do with it. One extraordinary evening. Manchester, 18th May, 7.30pm. Anthony Burgess Foundation.

The Love Lectures brings together academics, activists, artists and therapists to explore love in all its forms — from fandom to AI companions, self-worth to belonging. Each talk ends with just one thing: an achievable idea to make your world, and the lives of those around us, a little better.

Yes, it will be recorded as a podcast and filmed. But get a ticket and you'll discover something you can't get from the podcast — an event designed to connect the people in the room with the ideas, with each other, and with themselves.

Expect moments that surprise you and maybe even challenge you gently.

The first Love Lecture in Manchester includes leading speakers Prof. Kirsty Fairclough, Dr Scott Midson, Melissa Johns, Siân Johnson and more.

Curated and hosted by Savvy Productions founder Justine Potter — Drama and Documentary Producer (TV, Audio, Theatre) who has spent a career telling extraordinary human stories. The Love Lectures is where those stories come alive.

Be in the room where it happens. Early bird tickets from £10. Capacity 100. Don't wait.
