18:00 – late Afterparty at Tŷ Seidr

This year we are planning to help you settle in with complimentary tea and coffee during the breaks.

🎶 DJ Yann de Galles will be providing groovy vibes.

👤We also planned some points of reflection throughout the day to ponder and discuss the talks and ideas that you have heard.

The amazing Misha and the Kings will join us to perform their newest song “Hello hello” accoustically.

🎊After the main programme is finished, we invite you to join us for the afterparty at Tŷ Seidr.

🌊And for those who want to reflect further in a relaxing environment, we teamed up with AberPoeth to provide you with an exclusive sauna session after the event, on Sunday 1st March at 12pm. You will receive the link to book the session with the purchase confirmation.

We invite you to join the community of TEDxAberystwyth – come with your other half, with friends, neighbours or by yourself – most of our attendees purchase one ticket, so you will have others to join in with. We can’t wait to see you all!
