‘Being at Home’: viewed from a strange angle

Last time at Think & Drink
Guernsey's first Think & Drink might be the coolest event I've ever attended or spoken at… I was genuinely gripped by every presentation, and equally fascinated by the insightful questions that came from the audience.
A night out for your brain
Think & Drink is an evening of ideas somewhere comfortable: a few short, plain-spoken talks by people who really know their subject, and then the best bit, drinks and conversation with the speakers and everyone else who turned up curious. It's free, so the only thing standing between you and a good Tuesday is remembering to come.
- Short talks Fascinating people with something worth hearing, kept snappy and jargon-free.
- No podium in sight A relaxed spot around St Peter Port, and it moves about. Drink in hand encouraged.
- Everyone welcome Free entry, no background knowledge, no homework, no dress code.
