The Philosophy Roundtable will take place on 29 October 2026 at Port Independent Store in Sunderland. This event invites participants to explore the social impact of Gothic culture, coinciding with the month of Hallowe'en. Tickets are available for free or up to £3.96.
As it’s the month of Hallowe’en, Sunderland Lit & Phil invites you to explore the grisly details of our spookiest subculture - the Gothic!
What we call the Gothic aesthetic is almost three hundred years old, entering the scene in the eighteenth century and thriving into the present day.
Join our round-table philosophy meeting at Port Independent on the evening of October 29th to discuss the roots of the Gothic, the source of its enduring appeal and the close relationship between our greatest Gothic works and the world that created them.
We’ll also be asking what the Gothic can do for us today - how can we harness its infamous themes and devices to respond to our present social moment?
Love Gothic? Hate the genre? Not sure what you think? Come and have your say!
Member's tickets are included in your membership fee- everyone is welcome.
