Event Details

On Friday, 25th April, 6:30 pm, EA Festival and the Jockey Club Rooms will host an evening with Anne Glenconner in conversation with Anna Mathias.

The occasion for her return to the EA Festival stage is her delightful new book, an updated re-edition of The Picnic Papers. Originally published in 1983 and co-edited with her good friend Susanna Johnston, the book is a compilation of sunny anecdotes and piquant observations about the fine art (or at least joy) of dining outdoors. Contributed by the likes of Tina Brown, Rupert Everett, John Julius Norwich, Princess Margaret and Graham Norton, each paper is a sparkling commentary on al fresco dining – animated by the wit and joie de vivre of its author. The perfect way to banish winter gloom and usher in spring, join us for drinks and canapés for what is sure to be an unforgettable evening of memories, laughter and bon mots.
