Entry to all lectures is free to all, but by ticket only. To obtain a ticket please contact Alys Hilbourne (see contact details below). Please note that due to the popularity of the lecture series, tickets will be allocated on a monthly ballot basis. We will not be taking indications of interest months in advance this year, so if you would like to attend any of the talks, please email us to let us know around 3 or 4 weeks in advance of the talk date.
