Current affairs discussions every FIRST TUESDAY

The Manchester Salon has been organising challenging public discussions on a wide variety of political, cultural and social topics for the last few years. Topics are usually decided a few months in advance to enable (subject) experts to be invited and booked, allowing regular and occasional attendees to try and interrogate themes in detail,  in context and with some crucial insights.

There has been a desire by a few attendees to supplement discussions on social trends with ones focussed more immediately on recent news and current affairs. For example, a discussion this week could focus on a political scandal, response to ‘extreme’ weather event or an international or diplomatic crisis.
