Fringe
Saturday 15 August 2026
Please note, unless otherwise stated, all of our performances are strictly over 18s only
A series of live, in-conversation events led by Darren McGarvey, BAFTA award-winning broadcaster and acclaimed author. Joined by a range of guests, he explores how men learn masculinity, perform it under pressure and respond when it begins to fail. Moving beyond slogans and surface debate, these conversations examine behaviour, identity, relationships and change without reducing men to heroes or villains. Expect sharp analysis, honest reflection and moments of discomfort. This is not about moral posturing or easy answers, but about understanding what shapes male behaviour – and what it might take for it to shift.
Guideline 16+ must be accompanied with an adult.
Please note: Stand 1 has Unreserved Seating with Standing Room and latecomers may not be admitted.
