An evening celebration on Seymour Place bringing together the local community through art, food, drink and conversation.
Join us for a special summer evening celebrating the people, places and independent businesses that make Seymour Place!
Inspired by Xiaoguo Chen's exhibition Behind Every Exquisite Thing at Mandy Zhang Art, which explores the street and its community through the lens of The Picture of Dorian Gray, the Summer Social brings neighbours together for an evening of art, conversation, food and drink.
The evening begins with an introduction by Leo Lucas of Veranda Bookshop at Mandy Zhang Art, before continuing across Seymour Place with exhibitions, a live performance by Bleur, cocktail tastings, special dishes, exclusive offers and late openings from participating local businesses, including: Bleur, Veranda Books, Florencio, Fratelli Greci, Lurra, So French, The Portman pub, Seymour Kitchen and more!
