More than any other newspaper we can think of the Guardian is open. It has led the way in opening up to its readers - and in welcoming and amplifying other voices. Now we're opening our doors – hosting a weekend at the end of March for a festival of ideas, innovation and entertainment. Guest speakers from around the world will join our own writers, editors, digital developers and photographers to participate in over 200 programmed sessions on everything from the American presidential elections to the Arab spring. We're looking to welcome thousands of readers to take part in the weekend – March 24 and 25 – for an extraordinary mix of debates, talks, workshops, music, comedy, poetry, food and fun. We'll be using numerous spaces in the award-winning Kings Place in London – with its canalside concert halls, galleries, restaurants… and newsroom.
