A C Grayling - Making peace in the culture wars
2025-12-08 19:30 - 21:00 | BRLSI, 16-18 Queen Square, Bath, Bath & North East Somerset, BA1 2HN, United Kingdom
A C Grayling’s book Discrimination: Making Peace in the Culture Wars takes the so-called “woke” side – but argues that the “woke” case is not best made by visiting the same oppressions on opponents as the latter have historically visited on minorities, women and people of alternative views and ways.

The key to the case is that culture conflict arises not between competing rights, but between interests and rights, that genuine and fully enacted respect for rights is the way to end discrimination of all kinds, and that the resulting situation would in the ideal be one of convivencia.

Professor A C Grayling, CBE, MA, DPhil (Oxford), FRSL, FRSA, Master of the New College of the Humanities and a Supernumerary Fellow of St Anne’s College, Oxford

The Wurzels Christmas Party + support from Corky
2025-12-08 19:00 - 21:00 | Komedia Bath, 22-23 Westgate St, Bath, BA1 1EP, United Kingdom
The Wurzels, also known as the “West Country’s finest”, are a legendary British band that have been entertaining audiences with their unique blend of rural folk, rock, and comedy for over five decades.

Hailing from Somerset, England, this talented group has become synonymous with good old-fashioned fun and infectious foot-stomping music.

This year they are joining us on a Seasonal Sunday again and they are encouraging you all to visit the Bath Christmas Market before you get to their Xmas Party at Komedia!

Formed in 1966, The Wurzels were initially known as “Adge Cutler and the Wurzels”, led by charismatic frontman Adge Cutler. Their music, often referred to as “scrumpy and western”, is deeply rooted in the West Country culture and traditions, celebrating the joys and quirks of rural life. With their distinctive blend of accordion, banjo, drums, and guitar, The Wurzels have created a sound that is instantly recognizable and impossible to resist. And this time they`re starting early on a Sunday evening so plenty of time to visit the Christmas Market and still get home in good time!

This band has paved the way over decades for Scrumpy n’ Western – a genre packed full of double entendre, mainstream parody, and a comical folk style. The perfect accompaniment to cider-drinking. Signed to label heavyweights Columbia and EMI, The Wurzels are world-famous and continue to play over 100 sell-out shows and festivals every year and Bath Komedia is always on their list. Their quintessentially West Country cover of Kaiser Chiefs’ ‘Ruby’ has been a massive show favourite of late, as well as their hip hop version of the ubiquitous hit ‘Combine Harvester’. National and West Country Icons travel to see these West Country heroes so you never know who might turn up on the night!

Thomas Harriot: Renaissance astronomer, navigator & mathematician
2025-12-05 19:30 - 21:00 | BRLSI, 16-18 Queen Square, Bath, Bath & North East Somerset, BA1 2HN, United Kingdom
Who was Thomas Harriot? Not only the first in England to be documented as pointing a telescope at the night sky and drawing the Moon (just before Galileo in Venice), but he was also a navigator who had sailed to North America to set up the first English colony at Roanoke Island, had learnt the Carolina Algonquian language and had written a book about what he found: A Briefe and True Report of the New Found Land of Virginia.

When a portion of court intrigue and Harriot’s connections with other key Elizabethan and Jacobean figures is added in, the result is a story which needs to be told. Tony Symes is keen, as an enthusiastic amateur, to talk about this all too often forgotten scientist and reveal the background against which Harriot was operating.

Anthony Symes CEng is a committee member of the Herschel Society and chairs the Programme Subcommittee at the BRLSI. He graduated in Physics at the University of Sussex and worked in IT, mainly on supervisory control systems.
