Redefining Who We Are – Past, Present and Pixelated - The Crown Hotel

Who do we become when we strip away expectation?

Join Adam Farrer, Jenny Draper and Dr Alex Box as they explore the power, play, and performance of identity. From awkward teenage bedrooms to forgotten corners of history and digital dreamscapes, this event dives deep into how we shape who we are—and who we might yet be.

This is a night of transformation, where masculinity gets vulnerable, beauty becomes boundless, and history breaks free from kings, queens, and noble bloodlines. Three expert speakers deliver TED-style talks designed to challenge perceptions and change your life for the better. Showcasing the most stimulating ideas in arts, science, and history, each scintillating speaker has the challenge of engaging their audience within a 25-minute set, interspersed with intervals where you can chat, get a signed book from the speaker, or grab a drink at the bar.

Voted number six in the ‘Top 100 Things to do in the World’ by GQ magazine, Salon is a night out that will enlighten, entertain, excite your curiosity and change your life for the better.
