The current diary lives on the events page. Below is the run of what came before.
If you came along to one of these and have a story to tell, let us know. The back catalogue is a living thing, and the best lines from the room always come from the room.
Britain’s first and only Olympic ski jumper, telling the story behind the hype over lunch. Three courses, welcome drink, hosted Q&A, photo opportunity. Not a speech, a proper conversation.
The most decorated jump jockey in history, in conversation over a three course lunch. Welcome drink on arrival, wine pairing with the meal, signed programme per guest. Places sold separately or as a table.
England’s 2003 Rugby World Cup hero in conversation, three courses, full bar, a packed afternoon in the basement.
Big race tipping, big race stories, and the sort of afternoon the Festival was made for. Lunch, drinks, and the racing on the screens.
One of Britain’s greatest ever athletes, on stage in the basement. A long lunch, a good crowd, and stories that have only got better with telling.
Two British & Irish Lions in conversation. The Lions of the ‘90s, the modern game, and the stories that never made the post-match interviews.
Funny, honest, and a quality afternoon. Paul Merson on his career, the modern game, and the punditry world.
