Faversham Stoa is a philosophy discussion group meeting on the 3rd Tuesday of every month from 7.30 to 9.30pm in the The Bull in Tanners Street. We cover a large range of topics. If you have an idea for a topic that you would like us to cover why not drop us a line? There's no charge for membership and everyone is welcome to drop in. Just bring your brain and some beer money!

Cafe/Pub Philosophy and Lectures

The Stoa is not the only pub/cafe philosophy group around, although I do believe it is the only one of its kind in Kent. Here are details of some others.

Cafe Scientifique
The old-fashoned term for science used to be 'natural philosophy' so I suppose at a stretch we could call this a pub philosophy group. However, the topics are essentially scientific albeit designed to be accessible to the layperson. There is a Canterbury group that meets in 'Ye Olde Beverlie' at St Stephens Green.
