forward to my first in person philosophy talk since the start of Covid, which will take place at the ‘How the Light Gets In‘ festival’ Sunday 19th March. It’s a festival of philosophy and music, which is going to be held in the glorious grounds of Kenwood House on Hampstead Heath in London. I’m going to talk about the science of consciousness, and how the supposedly ‘easy problem’ of establishing neural correlates of consciousness is actually harder than the ‘hard problem’. I’ll also outline a couple of ways forward.

Should the phrase "actually harder than the ‘hard problem’" be "actually harder than the ‘hard problem’"? That is, "that" is simply a typo.

Two things. One, yes, it's a typo. Two, you will improve your writing if you delete "actually" everywhere you see it. (Don't put it back.)
