With the reclusive Mr. Carter, founder of 40 Winks, as the evening’s genial host and guide, guests will find themselves joyfully transported to a land of magical beauty, tantalising seduction and irresistible enchantment.

Guests will be tempted with pineapple and cardamom martinis and savoury delicacies, devised by the culinary masters of D&D London. They will also sample delectable treats from Paul A. Young, the talented and curious resident chocolatier. Gorgeous goody bags will be given to all brimming with gifts from Penahaligons, L’Occitane, Jo Malone and more.
