A Curious Invitation

A new venture from Suzette Field of The Last Tuesday; creating a peripatetic series of parties, lectures & workshops. www.acuriousinvitation.com

A CURIOUS INVITATION is an Arts Events company founded by Suzette Field. Suzette’s career began in 2000 as a founder of The Modern Times Club, which Tatler dubbed “the Rolls Royce of cabaret” and launched acts such as Paloma Faith. In 2007 she brought her expertise to the Last Tuesday Society and helped expand it from organizing tea parties to being one of London’s premier promoters. In 2010 she c

urated the opening of the Victoria and Albert Museum’s Renaissance Galleries with a masked ball for 12,000 people. Most recently she produced a series of talks that sold out in less than 24 hours for the National Trust. Her first book, ‘A Curious Invitation - The Forty Greatest Parties in Literature’ was published by Picador in the UK and Harper Perennial in the US last year. Her events now attract audiences of up to three thousand.

GOBLINS, GHOSTS + A GOTHIC CHRISTMAS
Fellow Mortals!
We have crept back out of our crypt for one final fling before the death of another year.

Check out this year's Gothic Christmas events via link in comments

Use the code GOTHIC at checkout before the end of Wednesday for a 10% discount!

Forget the office party, really get into the Spirit of this Christmas - join us for a medieval wine-fuelled immersive, dramatic Yuletide tour of some of the most atmospheric parts of the old city, and two candlelit ghostly gothic performances in the beautiful surrounds of Guys Chapel - served alongside with a toast of Dickensian gin punch.

💀 📖 Books of the Dead - a travel guide
Very pleased that Gary Lachman our foremost writer on the esoteric returns to tell tales of the guide books on how we should prepare for death - and what happens after - from ancient Egypt and medieval Tibet, up to now, including ones best left unread..

We can't remember how many times Gary has spoken at Month of the Dead. He is always an absolute great, always runs over and always turns up about three minutes before his talk is due to start :) ☠
