HowTheLightGetsIn

You don't see many festivals billing themselves as a blend of 'philosophy and music' but that's exactly what you get at HowTheLightGetsIn. Over 100 events are planned across the weekend of ideas, which is returning to Kenwood House in Hampstead Heath. Dine with some of the world's leading thinkers, and put your burning questions to them over a coffee or glass of fizz. There's also a huge programme of debates, including discussions of 'the Danger of Safety', and 'Peace for Our Time'. And once you're ready to take your thinking cap off, there are the comedy and music sets. Previous lineups have included the likes of James Acaster, Isy Suttie and Phil Wang, as well as Groove Armada and Don Letts. Highgate Underground Station is the recommended tube stop, and the pedestrian entrance is via the East Lodge.
