On arrival, guests will be treated to J. Dumangin Fils Champagne with delectable canapés by Chris King, including venison tartare and caviar with crème fraiche. Everyone will then be seated for dinner where things will commence with Adam Byatt’s elegant terrine of partridge, followed by a stunning turbot fish course from John Williams MBE, a glorious glazed veal dish from Phil Howard for the main, indulgent choux croquants with vanilla ice cream by Michel Roux Jr for dessert and some delicious petits fours by Cherish Finden to conclude. Each course will be paired with carefully selected wines.
Tickets are priced at £325 per person, the proceeds from which will assist DEBRA in providing the care and support that individuals and families living with EB rely on, and will help to fund further research into finding effective treatments for Epidermolysis Bullosa and, ultimately, a cure.
There will also be an auction held during the evening to raise further funds for DEBRA where some once-in-a-lifetime experiences are on offer; including a stay in the St Regis Mexico City with flights supplied by AeroMexico, a five-night stay at Atlantis, The Palm Dubai and a private visit to a Godolphin Stud, where a viewing of the stallions will be followed by an afternoon of racing at Newmarket, and all guests will be hosted in the Godolphin hospitality box.
