Conspiracy theories have come to play a prominent role in our so-called ‘post-truth’ society. It is almost inevitable that any significant event will become the subject of conspiracy theorising and considerable numbers of people endorse such theories. No one denies that real conspiracies do actually occur from time to time but equally it is undeniable that unfounded conspiracies can have serious and damaging consequences for society. Why are conspiracy theories so popular? Why are some people more susceptible to conspiratorial thinking than others? Such questions have in recent years become the focus of intense research by psychologists and other social scientists. 

Tickets £12 including a Hendrick's Gin cocktail.
