Story Lounge talks

One individual, one stage in the round and 15 minutes to tell their personal tale of awe and wonder. Grab a cushion, get comfortable and listen to stories from a range of interesting people working in the arts and sciences from up and down Exhibition Road. Drop by to hear about uncovering something new and following your own path, an awe-inspiring moment in someone’s life which changed the direction of their career, or just a funny story about why they do what they do.
