BRIGHTHINK is a Brighton-based, non-profit live events series for curious minds.
We create engaging evenings that give space to ideas that challenge assumptions, spark curiosity and provoke conversation — in a shared, relaxed and friendly atmosphere.

These sessions are as much about enjoyment as enlightenment. Our speakers include leading academics, journalists and authors from across the UK and beyond, covering science, culture, politics, philosophy and more.

Come along, take a seat, and be part of the conversation.

Chris French presents his talk on 'The Science of Weird Shit' to a packed house at the Nightingale Room, Brighton as part of the Brighthink 'Brightalks' series of events.
