Out with the old...

As the Festival launches tonight, we're thinking back to the first Festival of Ideas, just two years ago. On that launch night, we hosted an exhibition of John Minihan's photos of Samuel Beckett and made a tasty cake for our guests:

And in with the new - tonight Peter Watson launches the North/South theme by speaking about his book, The Great Divide, in the Ron Cooke Hub. You don't want to miss it! More info can be found here: http://yorkfestivalofideas.com/2013/talks/north-south-east-west-civilisation/

See you there!
