The first pictures are here from yesterday’s 800 ticket sell-out UnHerd event in London, In Search of Wild Gods, a conversation between Nick Cave and Tom Holland, hosted by UnHerd’s Freddie Sayers.

The historian and the rock star discussed their evolving relationship with faith and whether the era of militant Atheism is behind us — as well as Elvis, death and R.S. Thomas.

We recreated the UnHerd Club at the Emmanuel Centre to evoke the unique, intimate atmosphere that is quintessentially UnHerd.

Look out for the video of the full discussion dropping next week and you can purchase limited edition merchandise designed by resident artist J.G. Fox here.
