SUMMARY:Visit to Highgate Cemetery and Supper
DESCRIPTION:The world-famous Highgate Cemetery\, with its iconic tombs (Karl Marx etc) was originally opened in 1839\, as part of a commercial venture to provide seven large\, modern cemeteries\, round the edge of central London. The inner-city cemeteries\, mostly graveyards attached to churches\, had long been unable to cope with the number of burials and “The Magnificent Seven” were intended to solve this problem\, and to turn a profit at the same time. \nHighgate occupies a spectacular south-facing hillside site on Highgate Hill. Like the other six\, it soon became a fashionable place for burials and the Victorian attitude to death and its presentation led to the creation of a wealth of Gothic tombs\, buildings and catacombs. \nSadly\, the cemetery was not well run and fell into such dire financial straits in the Mid-20th Century that most of the staff\, including the gardeners were laid off\, and it was left unguarded and so was much vandalised. Over decades\, the grounds became increasingly overgrown and today they are full of trees\, shrubbery\, and wildflowers\, as well as being a haven for birds and small animals\, such as foxes. \nIn 1975\, Friends of Highgate Cemetery Trust bought the freehold\, and order is steadily being restored to what has\, despite its troubled history\, remained a working cemetery throughout. With its sinuous paths winding up a steep wooded hill and ivy-clad monuments\, Highgate Cemetery is a secluded\, funerary landscape at its most evocative. \nWe will have a hour’s private tour of the Western Cemetery (considered by those who have visited both\, to be much the more interesting)\, after the gates have shut to the public for the day. We will be shown all the key sites there\, before slipping across the road to visit Karl Marx’s tomb and a few other items on the Eastern side. \nAfter our tour\, we will repair to a restaurant in Highgate for an informal supper. \nThe Guide can only accommodate 20 of us\, and tickets cost £59 per person\, which will include the two-course supper. \nThe cemetery is on a hillside and our tour will include some walks up and down slopes and stone staircases\, so this event is not suitable for anyone with mobility issues. \n\nTickets: £59 \nTime: 5pm    followed by supper nearby

SUMMARY:Livery Tour and Dinner on SS Great Britain - Sold Out
DESCRIPTION:The SS Great Britain is the world’s first great ocean liner and when launched in 1843 she was called ‘the greatest experiment since the creation’. After 40 years as a passenger ship and then a cargo ship\, she was severely damaged off Cape Horn and left to rot in the Falkland Islands until 1970\, when she was re-floated and bought back to Bristol\, where a charity refurbished her and cares for the ship and Brunel’s collections. \nBrunel’s ship is now Bristol’s number one tourist attraction and has been lovingly restored to her original glory\, exactly as she would have been ready for her maiden voyage. She sits in a dry dock on a glass ‘sea’ and dominates Bristol’s historic waterfront. \nThis is a very rare opportunity to dine on the this world-famous ship\, as London’s Liveries\, (led by the Engineers\, naturally!)\, have her for our exclusive use that evening. \nA welcome drink which will be served on the Weather Deck from 6pm\, with spectacular views over Bristol harbour. If the weather is less kind\, we will use the Promenade Deck\, where the first-class passengers would take their afternoon stroll on rainy days. This is flooded with natural light and has a number of exhibits that we can explore. \nAt 7:30pm we will assemble for Dinner in the First Class Dining Saloon\, which has been completely refurbished in the original style. With marbled pillars and rococo mirrors it makes a grand setting. A three-course meal will be served\, with wine. There will be entertainment after the meal and further drinks will be available to purchase. \nWe have exclusive use of the Great Britain from 6pm to midnight and are invited to explore it\, making the most of this unique venue. \nThe ship is easy to reach by car\, public transport or on foot. There are also several hotels near the ship\, for those who wish to stay over on the Friday night\, and Clare can advise on these. \n\nTickets: £142 \nDress: dinner suits for gentlemen and cocktail/summer dresses for ladies. Colour is to be encouraged\, as is comfort. \nTime: 6pm-midnight
