Join us at Weston Park Museum for this relaxed discussion session to explore big ideas such as nature, culture, ritual and meaning.

We’ll use the current exhibitions to stimulate new thinking for an informal but in-depth conversation.

As part of a group, you’ll explore Sheffield Museum’s collections and consider how they resonate today. This is philosophical enquiry – collaborative thinking, talking and listening to build our understanding. Enjoy exploring ideas with others in a setting steeped in history.

All are welcome, no experience necessary.

"Really interesting to share thoughts and ideas with others like this. The facilitator also did a really good job of running the group and ensuring that everyone got their say. I really had no idea what to expect - but would very happily come to another of these." - previous attendee

This session forms part of the programme of events complementing the exhibition Gathering Landscapes, at Weston Park Museum until 1 November 2026.

Everything we do is made possible by you – please donate £5 to help care for Sheffield’s collections and celebrate the remarkable stories they tell
