The Conversation: Jeremy Bowen (in person)
Wednesday 17 June 2026
7:30 pm - 8:30 pm
The Conversation is a new series of talks bringing together an interview format, with an invitation for the audience to continue The Conversation the same evening in St Martin’s atmospheric Crypt afterwards.
The International Editor of the BBC, Jeremy Bowen, reflects on the realities of the region he has reported on for 35 years, and which he explores in his books, Six Days, The Arab Uprisings and The Making of the Modern Middle East: A Personal History. Chaired by Peter Florence.
The main talk takes place in the Church, followed by an informal discussion in the Crypt. The discussion is free to attend but you will need a separate ticket. This can be booked after you have chosen your ticket(s) for the talk. Capacity for the discussion is limited and tickets are therefore allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.
If you cannot attend in-person, this talk will also be streamed live online. For tickets to watch online, click here.
