Thursday 12 May, The Kingsway Hall Hotel, Covent Garden with authors Louise Doughty and Clare North

A ‘perfect balance of schmooze, booze and books’, to quote Lionel Shriver.

For those of you who still haven’t experienced a Gliterary Lunch, these stylish events are designed with women in mind and bring together some of our favourite things; good food, good books and good company, with a bit of fizz to add to the sparkle. Great for entertaining clients, meeting likeminded friends and networking, you can take a table of ten or join a mixed table. The event starts at midday with a drinks reception and canapes, followed by a two course sit-down lunch during which two award winning authors will talk about about their latest books and the inspirations behind them. While coffee is served there is an opportunity to talk to the authors and other guests and the event wraps up around 3pm. Guests are welcome to stay on and use the venue bar thereafter.

Tickets are £85 per head or £850 for a table of ten – it would be a fantastic event for a special occasion.
