The Saturday Evening Lecture Series will celebrate its 89th Anniversary in 2013, and will run from January through to May. All lectures will be held in the Dalhousie Building at 6pm.

In years past, we have hosted a wide and diverse range of world-class speakers, and we shall be continuing this tradition in 2013.

Drinks receptions will follow each lecture, and where appropriate, book-signings will be held.

The Dalhousie Building is located on the main campus of the University, on the corner of Old Hawkhill and Hunter Street. There is a pay and display car park opposite, which is open to the public, just behind the Globe Bar.

Overflow theatres may be in use if lectures are heavily subscribed, so be sure to arrive early if you would prefer to be seated in the main lecture theatre, as seating in the main theatre will be filled on a first come-first served basis on the night.

Tickets are available by emailing events@dundee.ac.uk, or from the events office on 01382 385564.
