The event will fuse fashion, music and cocktails with taster portions of creations from two Michelin-starred chef, Jean-Christophe Ansanay-Alex.

The feast will be divided into two distinct ‘Sense Sessions’. Starting at 6.30pm, Part 1 will include a selection of amuse-bouches to showcase the new March tasting menu, offset by appropriate cocktails.

From 9pm, Part 2 provides the desserts, plus fine cheeses and more drinks, as the latest offerings from menswear designer Monsieur Baron are modelled on the runway. The night will finish with a finale of surprise appearances on the catwalk and luxurious prizes.
