An evening for dressing up, drinking something sparkling and disappearing into another world for a few hours.

This November, we invite you to The Society Edit, an intimate evening of performance, fashion and beautiful company, held within the private rooms of a historic Marylebone townhouse.

The evening begins with a private Members’ Champagne Prelude, exclusively for Minerva members. Arrive half an hour before general admission for Champagne, canapés and a more intimate opportunity to settle in and meet your fellow members before the evening opens to the wider guest list.

Then, as the doors close, take your seat for a private salon performance of Oscar Wilde’s A Woman of No Importance.

First performed in 1893, Wilde’s society comedy turns its gaze on marriage, desire, reputation and the wonderfully contradictory expectations placed upon women and men.

After the performance, the salon opens once more. Explore a collection of vintage fashion magazines spanning the decades, stay for another drink and spend the rest of the evening in conversation with a thoughtfully curated gathering of women from across London.

As always, the room is designed to make meeting someone new feel entirely natural.
