National and local politicians, policy-makers, leading journalists and commentators will gather in York Minster’s Dean’s Park for conversation and debate at The Big Tent Ideas Festival 2023.

In York for the first time, the Big Tent Ideas Festival is the cross-party platform for constructive debate and civil disagreement.  This year’s headline topic is REGENERATE!  Audiences can join conversations and interactive sessions to discuss how to regenerate the city, the region and the country – physically, socially and culturally.

Join Government Ministers, shadow ministers, leading journalists and commentators as well as all local MPs and council leaders for:

• Open debates and panel discussions
• Dragon’s Den-style pitches for real cash from real angel investors
• Political walking tours
• Speakers’ Corner to make yourself heard
• Drama workshops and art for the whole family
• Our local community fayre and festival bookshop
• Food and drink stalls from local providers

 Free to register but space strictly limited.  To find out more and see who was at Big Tent 2022 in Bristol visit www.bigtent.org.uk
