FT Weekend Festival 2017 | Financial Times | 2 September 2017 | Kenwood House, Hampstead Ln, Highgate, London NW3 7JR, UK

The FT Weekend's annual festival celebrates the wit, ideas and range of enthusiasms which are our hallmark. An eclectic array of the FT's writers will debate the ideas and passions of our age, from Brexit and the rise of the robots to Lucy Kellaway's new career in teaching. They and leading editors from the FT Weekend and How To Spend It, will host dozens of key figures from fine art, music, literature, dance, business, food and drink to fashion and politics in the grounds of Kenwood House, Hampstead Heath.
