Fellows Festival 2025 Bath

Fellows Festival 2025 will bring together visionary thinkers and experts from diverse fields including culture, media, the arts, public policy, civil society, and business.

Immerse yourself in groundbreaking ideas and be part of driving powerful conversations. Kindle new partnerships and engage directly with bold RSA projects designed to create real-world impact.

Embracing the spirit of connection, regions nationwide and internationally will host local events featuring live-streamed keynotes, dynamic discussions, and region-specific content. With opportunities for collaboration at every level, the festival will bring all participants together, no matter where they are in the world.

What to expect from the Bath Fellows Festival event

Join us in person in Bath on 17 May from 12:00 to 18:00 for a creative intergenerational exchange that will explore the theme of ‘connections’.

Step into a dynamic space where people of all ages come together to converse, share wisdom and explore the possibilities of the future. The programme will feature thought-provoking discussions and the chance to reflect and connect in intimate small-group sessions. Get involved with hands-on workshops both indoors and outdoors and experience the strength of performance and poetry bringing ideas to life.

With contributors ranging from international development experts to branding designers, poets, educators – and you – this festival is a fascinating tapestry of perspectives, expertise, and lived experiences.

At the heart of it all, we’ll pose the question: “What does the future ask of us?” We’ll bridge generations inviting moments of connection, reimagining how we will live, learn, and love in the years ahead. Let’s look at the world we want to create, honouring wisdom from the past, and perspectives from today and tomorrow’s possibilities.

Come for a delicious lunch, an afternoon of rich dialogue and raise a glass to a sustainable and peaceful future before you head home.
