The Elsewhere ExperienceA Nurturing Minds experience

An evening, hour by hour

A look at how the first edition is planned to flow, from doors at 15:30 to a quiet send-off at 23:00. These times are the plan and may change.

Here is how we currently plan the evening. It moves through seven stages, with dinner as a shared meal between Connection and Reflection.

The plan at a glance#

  • 15:30 to 16:00, Arrival. Doors open. Welcome refreshments and time to settle in.
  • 16:00 to 17:00, Discovery. Music, making and things to explore at your own pace.
  • 17:00 to 18:00, Connection. Unhurried conversation, with no pressure to share more than you wish.
  • 18:00 to 19:15, Dinner. A shared meal at long tables.
  • 19:15 to 20:15, Reflection. A quieter hour for those who want it, led by trained facilitators.
  • 20:15 to 21:15, Expression. Room to make, perform or simply watch.
  • 21:15 to 22:45, Celebration. Live music and performance.
  • 22:45 to 23:00, Departure. A calm send-off.

For more on each stage, read the seven stages of the evening.

How the light changes#

The evening is meant to feel like one connected experience, quieter in the middle and warmer towards the end, rather than a timetable of separate activities.

A few things to know#

The programme, venue and date are still being confirmed, so please treat these times as the plan and not a promise. When something is settled, we will say so here and on the main page.
