The Belfast Salon was founded from a passion for ideas and argument, not simply for enjoyment’s sake, but believing that the best way to understand the world is to engage with it.  Membership is free and unlimited- ideas, opinions and a willingness to engage are the only currency. Committed to broadening the space for debate, dissent and free speech, we share many of the values of the Battle of Ideas and are proud to be associated with it.
