Being talked about ...

  • Friday 8 November 2024 from 5pm to 6:30pm
Cost

Adult: $49.50

Step into a world where wit, scandal, and sparkle take centre stage! Oscar Wilde once said, “The only thing worse than being talked about is not being talked about,” and this event promises to keep the conversation flowing.

Join celebrated literary historian Susannah Fullerton as she recounts the remarkable rise and tragic fall of Wilde’s life, with illustrations and powerful dramatic readings from his works. Meanwhile, jewellery historian Adrian Dickens will immerse you in the world of ‘gossipy jewels’ – fabulous, much-talked-about pieces that have dazzled and intrigued throughout history.

Enjoy a complimentary drink and snack while you mingle with fellow guests as you uncover the legacies and lasting impact of era-defining individuals and expose the brilliance of their legacies.

Book now and indulge in an afternoon of wit, wonder, and sparkling conversation!
