‘How We Live Next’ is a series of five events, including four online talks (with Q&A), by leading thinkers, writers, activists, politicians and business people. Sir Michael Marmot, Fatima Ibrahim, James Suzman and Johny Pitts spoke to Litfest about Health, Environment, Work and Social Justice.

The event series culminated in a panel discussion on Sunday afternoon with a more local focus. This panel was moderated by A.C. Grayling and included Robert Barratt (Eden North), Mark Cropper (James Cropper, Bespoke Paper Makers, Burneside), Gina Dowding (Lancaster City Councillor) and Dr Sakthi Karunanithi (Director of Public Health and Wellbeing for Lancashire).
