what is scrutopia
The Scrutopia Summer School founded by Roger Scruton offers a unique philosophical retreat, with a rich programme of lectures, tours, music, and conversation over dinner.
The Alumni meeting enables the friendships formed during our summer schools to flourish.
Hosted at The Royal Agricultural University in The Cotswolds and Sundey Hill Farm, where Roger lived and worked for 30 years.
