The Big Tent Ideas Festival is a new way of doing politics: bringing together people from all backgrounds and political affiliations, for a day of political and cultural debate.
Held at the iconic Mudchute Park & Farm in Tower Hamlets, in the shadow of Canary Wharf, the day will look at some of society's most serious challenges and how we can tackle them.
“At a time when disillusionment with traditional party politics has never been so low, the Big Tent Ideas Festival is a breath of fresh air. Three cheers for the Big Tent” - Stephen Fry
The 2019 Festival has partnered up with a long list of incredible organisations including: the WWF, the Jo Cox Foundation, the IPPR, Bright Blue, Radix, For Future's Sake, the Coalition for Global Prosperity, Coadec and many, many more.
Sessions will span across 9 tents and two connects fields: The Meadow and the Paddock
