A look back at our Autumn Winter Showcase…

We loved welcoming so many of you to the Buffini Chao Deck last week for an evening showcasing all things Events at the National Theatre.

After kicking off with a glass of fizz, guests could peruse the space, soak up the views of the London skyline on our terrace, sip on espresso martinis and snack on a selection of our seasonal canapés and bowl foods. Plus, there was music from the brilliant House of Sax (courtesy of Black Canvas Entertainment) and a live illustration station with talented live event painter Anna Dovbiy🖌️
