Reverend Richard Coles is the only British vicar to have had a number-one hit single and to have appeared as a contestant on Strictly Come Dancing.
He is also a Sunday Times bestselling author, Twitter phenomenon, much loved broadcaster, and now – as he retires as the 59th vicar of Finedon – Richard becomes a novelist with the first book in his eagerly anticipated Canon Clement mystery series.
Join him for this limited run of live events, as he celebrates the publication of Murder Before Evensong which sees the sleepy parish of Champton descend into unexpected chaos. In his hybrid life as vicar and media personality, Richard has many friends, and tonight, he will be in conversation with one of them to talk about Canon Clement, his new fictional sleuth.

Join the world’s leading philosophers of mind for an evening of lively debate and discussion.
‘How is it, exactly, that the brain’s 86 billion neurons give rise to conscious experience? As we’ll see, our answer to this question will not only shape our understanding of the human mind, but the fabric of reality itself.’ – Jack Symes
There is nothing more familiar to us than our conscious experience. However, understanding the origin and nature of consciousness might well be the greatest scientific challenge of our time.
Join some of the world’s most influential philosophers and scientists for an evening of lively debate and discussion on the mystery of consciousness.
Hosted by the team behind The Panpsycast, this event will feature Olly Marley in conversation with Rowan Williams, Jack Symes, Anil Seth, Laura Gow and Philip Goff. ‘The Mystery of Consciousness’ will also include an audience Q&A, live music, and author meet-and-greets.
Join exhibiting artist Zinzi Minott in conversation with Maitreyi Maheshwari, Head of Programme at FACT, as they unpack Zinzi’s practice and discuss her new commissioned artwork. This artist talk will include a Q&A.
Since 2018, artist and dancer Zinzi Minott (UK) has released a new version of her annual series Fi Dem. These moving-image works explore both the histories of the Windrush Generation, and broader histories and experiences of Blackness, migration, and living in the diaspora.
Each iteration is a visual manifestation of a year lived: lives moved and moving. Within Let the Song Hold Us, we present the 2022 instalment: Fi Dem V – A Redemptive Song, developed in response to Liverpool.
Focusing on the city’s Caribbean community, Minott explores Liverpool’s history as a port and its part in the Atlantic slave trade, as well as amplifying the current struggles of Merseyside’s Windrush community.
Moments of dance, celebration and joy are contrasted and glitched with archival footage of the arrival of the Windrush generation, and discussion around the uncertain future of a community Caribbean Centre – highlighting the precarity perpetuated by political and civic systems in the UK.
