IN 2025, WE CELEBRATED A DECADE OF IDEAS, CULTURE AND CONVERSATION
The FT Weekend Festival celebrated its 10th edition at Kenwood House Gardens on 6 September, with a day of lively debate, tastings, performances and conversation. Across ten stages, FT writers and special guests brought the spirit of FT Weekend to life in front of a sell-out crowd.
