Four Nordic Societies’ Midsummer Lunch on Monday, 24 June 2024 at Lincoln’s Inn, London WC2A 3TL from 11.45 a.m. for 12.30
Together all four Nordic Societies in England – The Anglo-Danish Society, The Anglo-Finnish Society, The Anglo-Norse Society and The Anglo-Swedish Society – are organising a Midsummer Lunch on Monday, 24 June 2024 at 11.45 a.m. for 12.30 at Lincoln’s Inn. 24 June is of course the traditional Midsummer date before it was moved to the nearest Saturday.
The Honourable Society of Lincoln’s Inn is the oldest of the four Inns of Court in the sense of surviving records dating back to 1422. The Great Hall was opened by Queen Victoria in 1845, this fine Hall complete with Minstrels’ Gallery, striking fresco and ceiling of beautifully worked oak is described as one of the most impressive surviving buildings of its kind in London.
A 3-course lunch with welcome drinks reception is offered at £45.00 per person inclusive of VAT.
The welcome drinks reception would be at the East Terrace overlooking the Benchers Lawn or in case of poor weather in the bar area inside the Members Common Room (MCR).
Please note the dress code for lunch in the Great Hall is business or lounge suits, court dress or smart casual dress.
We would gather at the East Terrace or Members Common Room at about 11.45 to 12.00 and then move upstairs to the Great Hall, where we will have a reserved table at 12.30. There is a place to leave small bags and coats both in the MCR and upstairs in the Great Hall.
This event is now operating a waiting list for AFS members and guests depending in interest from the other Societies. Places are allocated on a first come first served basis and we can only accommodate guests if subscribing members of the Societies are fewer than the space available.
If you wish to attend, please inform the Hon. Secretary (with any special dietary requirements) no later than 31 May 2024 and ideally some time before that, preferably by email – secretary@anglofinnishsociety.org.uk
