    A FESTIVAL FOR THE CURIOUS

    Where FT Weekend came to life. 

    We spent the last weekend of summer in the beautiful grounds of Kenwood House for a unique day of big ideas, culture and discovery. Across ten stages, attendees enjoyed a packed programme of interviews, debates, tastings, book signings, performances and more. 

    FT editors and journalists took to the stage alongside leading thinkers, business leaders, policymakers, writers, actors, chefs, designers, influencers and cultural voices to explore the issues, trends and ideas shaping our world. 

    From exploring the future of technology and discussing global affairs to discovering next great reads, enjoying wine tastings or relaxing with friends on the lawn, there was something to spark curiosity around every corner. 

    Watch the sessions on demand and catch up on the conversations, insights and debates that shaped the festival.
