We are also pleased to offer a limited number of seats for each event to the public, friends of the School, alumni schools and colleges. 

Guest Speakers have included Cornelia Parker, Gavin Turk, Ben Rivers, Deanna Petherbridge, Sue Coe, Deborah Levy, Lindsay Seers, Lynette Yiadom-Boakye and Michael Salu.
