Glastonbury Symposium

21/08/2026

Andy Thomas’s presentation at the 2026 Glastonbury Symposium on the madness of current global events and how we can survive them is now available to watch for free on YouTube.

This year’s Symposium was another haven of broad-mindedness and camaraderie in a world of madness … which is why he titled his lecture there ‘The World Has Gone Mad, But We Don’t Have To’.

In this timely talk on the dark fairytale unfolding before us, Andy observes that the lunatics now seem to be officially running the asylum, international law has crumbled, AI is taking over, bullies get their way and fanatics are doing their best to bring about apocalyptic end-times in a world of paranormal weirdness and talk of imminent UFO disclosure – so we could be forgiven for shrugging and just deciding to go a little crazy as well. But as much of the world goes off the rails, maybe this is the very time we have to centre in, batten the hatches and hold fast ….

The lecture may provide a little solace in tumultuous times and can be found either on Andy’s Truth Agenda website, on the Symposium YouTube channel, or by searching YouTube for ‘Andy Thomas – The World Has Gone Mad, But We Don’t Need To’.

Other 2026 Symposium presentations are hoped to be made generally available in due course.

At this July’s 2026 Glastonbury Symposium, Matt Campbell spoke powerfully and bravely about his attempts to get to the truth of what really happened on 9/11 by using the legal system. It was mentioned that Symposium MC Andy Thomas would soon be giving a full lecture on the anomalies of 9/11 – and that talk is coming up this coming Tuesday 18 August, 8pm, at the Changing Times lectures in Cyprus Hall, Burgess Hill, West Sussex, to mark the near-25th anniversary of the world-changing events.

It is plain from even the lightest perusal of the facts that there are serious problems with the official narrative of that day, and the implications remain crucially important. In Andy’s presentation he will be explaining why this is, in an easy-to-follow series of illustrated investigations.

The talk will clearly point out the troubling areas, and leave people free to make up their own minds, as Andy does in his 9/11-covering books, specifically Conspiracies and The Truth Agenda.

Don’t be fooled by those who say that questioning 9/11 is a shameful outrage – that is just a way of closing down real and necessary enquiry. Come along and find out for yourselves what the 9/11 mysteries and anomalies are and why they still really matter.

The evening begins at 8.00pm SHARP (admission on the door only – no pre-booking). A large adjacent free car park is available and the venue is just five minutes walk from Burgess Hill station (on the main London to Brighton line).

For full details and venue directions, go to the Changing Times website.

Forging a path between the Wild West and China’s Techtopia ... With just two days to go until this year’s Glastonbury Symposium ‘Expand Your Horizons’ event, here is our final speaker highlight for 2026 – Terry Boardman

Terry is the author of four books, including the renowned Mapping the Millennium: Behind the Plans of the New World Order, with a keen interest in East-West issues. In his Symposium presentation on Sunday 26 July, Terry demonstrates how the two mega-State world powers, the USA and China, which form the polarity currently “squeezing” the world, do not offer a healthy way forward for humanity.

Terry says: “Both powers, in their different ways, and despite their technological accomplishments, are reflections either of ancient or outdated modes of social thinking. In the chaos after the First World War, one of the West’s greatest spirits, Rudolf Steiner, tried to realise genuinely constructive ideas for a way forward appropriate for the modern age. He was not heeded in Europe, and the result was the Second World War. He said that after 100 years of waiting, there would be another opportunity to realise those constructive ideas … Now we are here.”

Terry is a translator, writer and experienced public speaker who has spoken widely on modern history and current events in Britain and abroad. He has been a student of Anthroposophy for 45 years and is a regular contributor to the quarterly New View magazine (UK) and co-editor of The Present Age magazine (Switzerland).

Full details and online booking, including live-streaming tickets, are available on the Glastonbury Symposium website. Tickets will also be obtainable on the doors, subject to availability …

How astrology can decode the current global chaos ... Glastonbury Symposium ‘Expand Your Horizons’ speaker highlights 2026 – Lianne McCafferty

Lianne, D.M. Astrol MAPAI, holds the Mayo School of Astrology Diploma with Distinction in natal and mundane astrology, where she is also a long-standing tutor. In her presentation for the Symposium this coming Sunday 26 July, Lianne looks at how the entire world seems to be shifting beneath our feet and asks what the planets have to say about the current global upheavals.

From political shakeups to cultural revolutions, she dives into the astrology behind the headlines, exploring how planetary cycles past, present and future mirror societal shifts and collective turning points, with particular focus on the UK’s evolving story.

Lianne says: “Expect esoteric insight, generational context and a fresh take on the forces driving our future, whether you are a seasoned astrologer or just astro-curious.”

Lianne is author of several respected astrological books, along with numerous articles in international publications. She speaks regularly at conferences and is on the board of both the general and Scottish Astrological Associations.

Is UFO disclosure imminent and how might it really happen ..? Glastonbury Symposium ‘Expand Your Horizons’ speaker highlights 2026 – Neil Nixon

The recent Age of Disclosure documentary and the Spielberg drama Disclosure Day are the latest in a line of high-profile media works suggesting humanity’s realisation that we are not alone may be close.

In his presentation for the Symposium, entitled ‘Ways to UFO Disclosure Day’, on Friday 24 July, Neil draws on decades of paranormal involvement to present the wider picture, suggesting there are many ways such disclosure might occur and many possibilities as to how it might look.

Along the way we’re likely to be reminded that the strangest creatures we might encounter in this realm are our fellow humans, and anyone who thinks this subject to be as simple as aliens stepping from a landed craft might have missed several important landmarks.

Neil has been writing, researching and presenting the paranormal for decades. He contributes to publications like Fortean Times and has authored books including UFOs, Aliens and the Battle for the Truth and Why Mystery Matters. He has spoken at major UK conferences and his wider career has included founding the UK’s first university course in Professional Writing and running it for 20 years.

Full details and online booking, including live-streaming tickets, are available on the Glastonbury Symposium website.

The Titanic revisited: no icebergs necessarily involved ... Glastonbury Symposium ‘Expand Your Horizons’ speaker highlights 2026 – Tony Harris

On Saturday 25 July, in a very different kind of presentation for the Symposium, performance artist Tony tells the untold story of the sinking of the famous ship as he vividly brings to life ‘The Titanic Conspiracy’.

The Titanic conspiracy theory is not a new one. It’s been around since the early 1990s. But Tony Harris’s interpretation of the facts has not been seen before. Dressed as a first-class survivor, Tony gives the story a fresh and invigorating twist which will have people both thinking and laughing simultaneously. Tony has been a conspiracy theorist for 20-odd years and is delighted to visit the Symposium to say why he believes The Titanic never sank. This talk – like the ship – always goes down well …

Tony was a news journalist for 25 years before switching hats to become a full-time speaker and performer. He appears all over the UK playing Historical Greats such as Henry VIII, Churchill and Margaret Thatcher. His well-researched material and superb comic delivery puts him at the top of his particular tree, in demand for all manner of events.

Full details and online booking, including live-streaming tickets, are available on the Glastonbury Symposium website.
