Birmingham Salon runs stimulating debates led by subject experts in local settings. Our events are genuine public conversations and our speakers are open to challenge – we give plenty of time for participants to say what they think.

Inspired by London’s annual debating festival, Battle of Ideas organised by the Institute of Ideas, we believe that the starting point for changing our world is open debate that is unafraid to tackle the thorniest questions.

Come and join us at our next debate. We’re a serious but friendly group, and we look forward to debating with you soon. We ask attendees to make a donation towards our running costs.

The East Midlands Salon like those that currently exist in Brighton, Manchester, Leeds, Birmingham, New York and Lisbon is inspired by the Institute of Ideas. The IoI is committed to: (1) The legacy of the Enlightenment: scientific and social experimentation, intellectual ambition and curiosity; (2) Embracing change and making history; (3) Art for art’s sake, knowledge for its own sake, and education as an end in itself. (4) Freedom. To think, to act, to say what needs saying – even if it offends others; (5) Challenging irrational social panics; (6) Open and robust debate, in which ideas can be interrogated, argued for and fought over Civil liberties, with no ifs or buts

The Leeds Salon is a public forum for debate around contemporary political, cultural and scientific issues, with the aim of challenging any orthodoxies along the way. Writers, academics and experts in their field are invited to present their ideas and to have them debated and held up to scrutiny by the audience.

The Battle of Ideas festival was set up 10 years ago, initiated by the Institute of Ideas and supported by a wide range of partners, to encourage free thinking and open-ended public discussion. In 2014, this feels particularly apposite: we need serious thinking to deal with serious times.
