Live @ Forty5 is new for Northumberland. Based on the popular TED talks concept, we are organising a series of monthly mini-lectures in Northumberland to inspire, educate and entertain. WHEN? The third Thursday of every month, 8-9pm WHERE? Gallery 45, Felton, Northumberland. HOW? (much) £5 per person to included tea and coffee! Our first speakers have already been lined up and they have a wealth of knowledge and stories from all walks of life. Some will be educational, some will be humorous but all will be entertaining and will leave you feeling inspired. Each session will follow the same format; a 20 minute mini lecture followed by 20 minutes presenter-led Q&A (no picking on you in the front row!) followed by informal networking and conversation. We will also record each session to release as a podcast in case you miss it! Once dates are confirmed, all of our events will be posted on our facebook page so stay tuned for details. If you feel that you have an interesting story to tell then please do get in touch. No matter how big or small your story, we want to hear it!
