Open Forum

Open Forum gives participants the chance to steer the evening: suggest a question, vote with the room, and then explore the chosen questions through discussion. Bring anything that might open up a good philosophical conversation. Instead of beginning with a pre-announced theme, this session is a chance to explore the questions people actually bring on the night: questions about ethics, culture, beauty, meaning or anything else that might lead somewhere interesting. You do not need to have studied philosophy or arrive with specialist knowledge. Curiosity and a willingness to join the dialogue are enough. The conversation does not have to stop when the formal part ends. People often stay afterwards for a drink and a chat, and that informal part helps Philosophy Cafe become a friendly community rather than just a series of events. Where: Downstairs room, Square Pig, Holborn (private room) NB: The event begins at 7pm, doors open at 6:50pm. Event ends at 9pm Format: Participants propose questions → vote on questions → small-group discussions → share insights with the whole room Discounts: If cost is a barrier, we want to make the session as accessible as possible. If you are a student, unemployed, or on a low income, please feel free to send me a direct message to get a reduced-price place. Refunds: If you are unable to attend and would like a refund, please send me a direct message at least 48 hours before the event. Unfortunately, I’m not able to offer refunds for cancellations made after this point, as it becomes difficult to reallocate places at short notice.
