The summer line up of The Conversation at St-Martin’s-in-the-Field has been released and it looks so good. From May to July on Tuesdays in this gorgeous church, a selection of fascinating writers and thinkers will be talking about their work.
The summer season of The Conversation 2026 will tackle topics including the LGBTQ+ culture of San Francisco as we celebrate the 50th anniversary of author Armistead Maupin’s Tales of the City; what Shakespeare’s women really were thinking with Harriet Walter; why conversations on our planet’s future must focus on those most affected with Selina Nwulu; the battle for modern America with historian Sarah Churchwell; the limits and breaking points of democracy in the modern world with Jonathan Sumption; how money laundering and the dirty economy works with Oliver Bullough; and we explore contemporary life and language with Ali Smith. We imagine how the lives of birds intersect with our own with Jackie Morris and Robert Macfarlane; reveal the real women behind historical legends with Janina Ramirez, and celebrate the life of explorer George Forster with Andrea Wulf.

Revd Dr Sam Wells, Vicar of St Martin-in-the-Fields since 2012 has said: “St Martin in the Fields has always been a beacon of social justice campaigning and action. We hope The Conversation will continue and extend that tradition of questioning and challenging assumptions and narratives, and will celebrate all our many, welcome visitors.”
