A very special Secularist of the Year event in the offing- get your tickets now

This year's Secularist of the Year lunch is shaping up to be one of the most exciting events in the secularists' social calendar – with attendees including Richard Dawkins, AC Grayling and last year's fantastic winner, Turkish opposition MP Safak Pavey. The prizes will be presented by famed cartoonist Martin Rowson.

With a record number of nominations from all over the world, the winner has now been chosen and we can promise, as usual, a roster of courage, determination and heroism. There is no other event quite like it. We hope you'll join us to share in the inspiration and excitement.

As well as honouring the heroes of the cause, Secularist of the Year presents attendees with an opportunity to meet other secularists from around the country and, indeed, all over the world. Held in a prestigious central London venue, it's a friendly event that includes a three course lunch with tea or coffee and a welcoming cocktail (or non-alcoholic equivalent) on arrival.
