Lectures take place every Thursday at 6:15 pm in Appleton Tower, Lecture Theatre 3. Our lectures are FREE to members and £2 for non-members. We also sell PhilSoc memberships at all of our lectures if you decide you would like to become a member. Doors open from 6pm and we suggest that you arrive 5-10 minutes early.
