Big Tent Digital Events

Our digital events convene and connect original thinkers and innovators, seeking to catalyse progressive partnerships. We bring together people from every background – science, politics, business, the arts and more. We ask “What matters? What do we need know? What is going on out there that Westminster politics has ignored?” We probe the pressing problems, looking at them from different angles. And most importantly, we want to find out what the solutions look like – and how we all can do something about it.

Past Festivals

Big Tent Ideas Festivals

Founded in 2017, the Big Tent is a movement to tackle the deepening disillusionment with the increasingly shrill, populist, partisan politics of the Westminster bubble. We have established a trusted brand, which reaches across the political spectrum, a policy neutral platform for the best of policy thinking. At Big Tent events we come to listen as much as speak and discover new perspectives.
