Hi [Name], We wanted to tell you a little more about what to expect from The School of Life: Festival of Ideas 2026. | | | | | A day to make proper friends. To talk about what actually matters. To spend time with people who may feel more like you than you expect. The star of the day isn't a line-up. It's the audience. | | | The Festival is built around participation – conversations, shared experiences, and moments of unexpected connection. Nothing is forced. Everyone is welcome exactly as they are. | | | | | | The day unfolds across Know Yourself, Connection, and Happiness and Meaning – guided by Alain de Botton and The School of Life faculty. Workshops, speed meetings, writing, drawing, and – if you're willing – a Psychological Disco. | | | A year's worth of ideas, conversation and connection – in a single day. Sunday 13 September 2026 Old Session House, Farringdon, London 9:30am – 6:30pm | | | | Right now, tickets are available to members first – whether you're a Community or Content Member. If you'd like to guarantee your place before the wider sale opens, becoming a Member is the way to do it. For the fullest experience on the day, Community Membership is the best option – with better pricing, priority session selection and exclusive extras. We can't promise availability once general sale begins. | | | Places are limited – we'd recommend securing yours soon. | | | | |
