The annual festival is set to return to Leeds Playhouse this October, promising four days of engaging dialogue and world-renowned speakers. From October 2-5, Leeds International Festival of Ideas will host discussions on issues including addiction, artificial intelligence, care, neurodiversity and the impact of reality TV on our perception of reality. An impressive line-up of stars will grace the festival’s stages, including Kate Adie, Stacey Dooley, Kate Garraway and Carol Vorderman.
The festival’s director Martin Dickson said: “The power of LIFI to bring the people of Leeds together and have a courageous, open, and honest conversation about major issues affecting us all in society today is one of the unique elements that sets this festival apart.
