Anglo-Danish Society

Bookings are now being taken for the Royal Banquet at Drapers’ Hall on Wednesday 4 December 2019, at the Drapers’ Hall, Throgmorton Avenue, City of London

Time to arrive: 6.15-6.30 – ahead of HM Queen Margrethe, Patron of The Anglo-Danish Society, who will be the Guest of Honour.

The banquet is to celebrate the 60th successful year of the Scholarship Programme where annually some 9 postgraduate students from the UK or Denmark are awarded scholarships in order to enhance their year of study abroad. As a charity, our main objective is to continue to support talented young people in their studies. The Royal Banquet enables us to celebrate with you those remarkable achievements over the last 60 years.

On the evening the doors will open to the magnificently ornate Drapers' Hall in the City of London. This fabulous Black Tie event starts with a drinks reception where everyone mingles and where selected members and guests will have an opportunity to meet Her Majesty Queen Margrethe or our other celebrities. As we move into the grand Hall, the Fanfare Trumpeters of the Royal Yeomanry will set the scene, along with Drummers from The Princess of Wales’s Royal Regiment and The Royal Lifeguards from Denmark.

You will be treated to a sumptuous 3 course banquet with carefully chosen wines. All dietary requirements can be accommodated, including non-alcoholic wines. During the meal there will be a programme of musical interludes, followed by a Loving Cup Ceremony and an after-dinner speech by our Celebrity Guest of Honour, Sandi Toksvig.

The finale will be a rousing musical set played by the Pipes and Drums of the London Scottish Regiment.

We would be delighted to see as many of you as possible at this event.
