The seminars are completely free and open to all. Since it is common for ticket holders to drop out on the day for whatever reason, we oversubscribe our events to ensure a good turn out and a lively discussion. Registration therefore, does not guarantee you entry and we advise that you arrive in good time in order to ensure you are admitted to the event.
If you enjoy Constitution Unit events, why not subscribe to our blog (in the left sidebar of the blog homepage), join our mailing lists for news of our events and research, and support us through a one-off or regular donation. Donations are crucial to funding the blog, and the Unit’s research.
