HOBBES FESTIVAL 2026 

The THoM Society are working on plans for our second and hopefully an annual festival in Malmesbury, 27th to 29th March 2026. This year will see the report of the 2025 archaeology dig on the site of Hobbes family home and including finds and a talk by Cotswold Archaeology. Still in the planning are some younger people and children's activities. We hope to repeat the guided walks, but with a different twist and are working on a more social evening event too.

HOBBES INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE 2026

The BIG NEWS is that Dr. Vittorio Bufacchi is kindly organising a Philosophy Conference, which will be held in the United Reformed Church in Malmesbury, the site of Hobbes family house. This will run alongside our other events. More news being revealed at the Hobbes Dinner on 21st November.
