This Saturday 26th October, frequent pop-up organiser Cult Events, literary club night Bookslam, and chef Ian Ballantyne are organising a dinner with some very special speakers. Full list below, but the two highlights for me at Ben Goldacre, the Guardian's Bad Science columnist, and performance poet Mark Grist, whose 'teacher vs student' rap battle has had nearly 4 million views on YouTube. Tickets are £60 for dinner and £15 for the entertainment only - see the booking links below.
"The people behind London's best literary event, Book Slam, have teamed up with masters of the pop-up, Cult Events, to create an evening of fine dining & entertainment in the stirring Victorian surroundings of the Central Foundation Boys’ School, Shoreditch.
An evening of two parts, first up is an exclusive opportunity to enjoy an extraordinary feast of culinary delights, beginning with welcome a cocktail and canapés that nod playfully to the theme of the evening, before sitting down to a four-course banquet, the like the school has never seen before.
