A groundbreaking weekend of talks, debates, performances & big ideas intermingled with free music, screenings & discussions on what it means to be a man today, from a range of leading men.

31 Jan - 2 Feb. With the help of some extraordinary contributors, leaders in their field, subjects covered include fatherhood, sex and sexuality, war, class, race, ageing, nature versus nurture, attitudes to women and feminism, and why men like gaming, sheds, drink, sex, football and cars (or do they?).

Also discover the latest evidence surrounding the male brain, the history of the roles of men in different societies, masculinity in art and the importance of sport. 

So, come along and celebrate all aspects of being a man without the hang-ups, and explore the best and worst things about masculinity.

Contributors include: Billy Bragg, Jon Snow, Lemn Sissay, Larry Harvey of Burning Man, Michael Kaufman of the White Ribbon Campaign, Baaba Maal, Tim Samuels of BBC Men’s Hour, Akala, Nick Hornby, theatre director and writer Topher Campbell and Grayson Perry.

Also discover the latest evidence surrounding the male brain, the history of the roles of men in different societies, masculinity in art and the importance of sport. Everyone is welcome and everyone can contribute but the weekend is aimed specifically at men of all ages.
 
Over three days, we will ask how you can celebrate all aspects of being a man without the hang-ups, and explore the best and worst things about masculinity – both the challenges and the opportunities.
