Make Hope Possible Presents

An evening with George Monbiot

Pitlochry – 1/5/26

George Monbiot is surely Britain’s best journalist. In a lifetime of investigations, he has survived by eating rats in West Papua’s rainforest, been declared legally dead in Kenya, and written 13 books, alongside his popular Guardian column.

He will be joining us to discuss his most recent book The Invisible Doctrine: The Secret History of Neoliberalism.

FAQs

The venue is a modern working theatre. It meets basic accessibility requirements. An access guide is available on the Pitlochry Festival Theatre website.

Some access needs are personal and specific, and we want to make sure everyone can access our events regardless of their needs or abilities. Please email admin@makehopepossible.org if you feel we should know about your requirements so that we can do our best to accommodate you on the day.

We use Eventbrite to help new audiences find us, but they charge significant service fees. When you book here on Make Hope Possible, we avoid those costs, allowing us to invest more in future events.

No. To save paper and hassle, we operate a digital-only check-in. Just show your confirmation email on your smartphone at the door. We also have a master guest list, so as long as you have photo ID, we can find you.

This is a voluntary higher-tier price for those who can afford it. By choosing this, you directly subsidise the Next Gen (£10) tickets, helping us to make our events more accessible to the next generation of radical thinkers.
