The current town hall was erected in 1936\, and still stands in Luton town centre today\, complete with art-deco interiors and ornate committee rooms and chambers. \nOn this tour\, you’ll have access to areas of the town hall that aren’t often open to the public\, like the Silver Room\, Mayor’s Parlour (tbc) and the Council Chamber. \nThe tours will cover the history of the town hall\, Luton Borough Council and our civic heritage. \nTour information\nTours will last approximately 1 hour. Please note that children should be accompanied by a parent or adult at all times. \nTours will run at 10.45am\, 11:45am and 12:45pm.  \nBOOKING IS ESSENTIAL. Book online here. \nGetting here\nThe closest car park is Luton Library Road car park (Library Rd\, Luton LU1 2NG). The town hall is approximately a 5 minute walk. \nIf you are travelling by bus\, please check which bus stop on your route is closest. This might be Luton Station Interchange\, which is approximately a 7 minute walk. \nMeeting point\nPlease meet at the reception entrance on Upper George Street.

SUMMARY:Ella Al-Shamahi (Work In Progress)
DESCRIPTION:ELLA AL-SHAMAHI: \nBECOMING HUMAN – WORK IN PROGRESS \nThis is the story of Homo sapiens… us \nElla Al-Shamahi\, palaeoanthropologist\, TV presenter\, explorer and stand-up presents a talk on our remarkable origin story. \nOnce upon a time we shared this planet with many species of human – it has been said that our world was a bit like Lord of the Rings. To start with we Homo sapiens weren’t that remarkable\, our origins were in fact rather humble and yet somehow today we are the only ones left. But we didn’t just survive against all odds\, we thrived\, innovated and travelled like no other species of human – becoming the explorer species who built cities\, iPhones and painted the Sistine Chapel. Our success was profound\, but how on Earth did it happen and at what cost? \nElla Al-Shamahi started studying evolution as a creationist and so she interweaves her own story demonstrating the power of tribalism not just in the past\, but also in the present. Expect a talk that draws on the latest discoveries\, heart\, humour and wild expedition stories. \nAl-Shamahi is a National Geographic Explorer specialising in searching for fossils in Palaeolithic caves in politically unstable\, hostile and disputed territories. She is the presenter of HUMAN\, a flagship BBC/PBS science series as well as other TV and radio shows. She is also author of a Times/Sunday Times book of the year ‘The Handshake: A Gripping History’
