About this event
A night out with a difference. The Catalyst Club is a monthly event serving up the old tradition of the French Salon.
Be inspired and entertained as three guest speakers talk on a subject close to their heart.
Expect everything from local history, art, philosophy, culture and folklore, to the history of Marmite, Asperger’s, bad waxworks, Plato’s Republic, slime mould, and how to fend off a bear attack!
Speakers are booked in advance; topics are kept top secret until the night!
Hosted by author and BBC radio presenter Dr David Bramwell, in partnership with Ropetackle and Shoreham Wordfest.
