About This Event

Laura Kuenssberg, the BBC's Political Editor and one of Britain's most respected journalists, brings her sharp political insight to Manchester with "Pay Attention" at Stoller Hall this November. This is a rare chance to hear directly from someone at the heart of Westminster politics, offering behind-the-scenes stories and candid analysis of the issues shaping our country. Whether you're a politics junkie or simply curious about how news gets made, Kuenssberg's talk promises to be thought-provoking and genuinely engaging.

Stoller Hall sits in the heart of Castlefield, Manchester's historic cultural quarter, and it's the perfect intimate venue for this kind of in-depth conversation. The converted Victorian building has become a real hub for live events and debates, drawing quality speakers and audiences who want something more substantial than your average night out. The whole Castlefield area is brilliant for a pre-event wander, with plenty of independent cafes and bars nearby.

The event kicks off at 7pm on Thursday 5 November, so aim to arrive with time to settle in and grab a seat. At just £10, it's decent value for hearing from someone whose analysis regularly shapes political conversation. Castlefield's well-connected by tram and bus, and there's parking around the basin if you're driving in.
