Fun is a serious business, apparently. Pull up a seat as award-winning author Ben Aitken makes the case for having a laugh.

Who is Ben Aitken?

Ben Aitken is an award-winning author with several books to his name. One follows him on a series of coach holidays with roughly 1,800 pensioners, which tells you a lot about his appetite for adventure. Another, Here Comes the Fun: The Serious Business of Having a Laugh, explores the relationship between fun and wellbeing.

What to expect from a talk with Ben Aitken

This is a light-hearted chat about Here Comes the Fun and the big question at its heart: what does having a laugh actually do for us? Ben digs into how fun and wellbeing are connected, and it's a relaxed conversation rather than a lecture.

Find a spot, get comfy and treat it as official permission to have more fun. Not that anyone at Camp needs it.
