Chinese New Year Dinner

Thursday, 30th January 2025

We are hosting a special Dim Sum dinner on Thursday, 30th January at Bright Courtyard Club on Baker Street. Join us for a festive evening to celebrate Chinese New Year and welcome the Year of the Snake in the company of fellow Society members and friends.  We will meet from 6.30pm for dinner at 7pm.

New Year is a festival rooted in Chinese tradition – the snake represents a time for transformation, change and renewal, as it sheds its skin regularly. In Chinese culture this represents a time of growth and reinvention with an emphasis on shedding the old to make way for the new. With delicious food, convivial company and a nod to Chinese cultural heritage, the evening promises to be as inspiring as it is celebratory.

For the evening we will enjoy a glass of wine and a sumptuous banquet featuring fifteen carefully selected dim sum dishes, each rich with symbolic meaning for prosperity, strength, wealth and harmony for the year ahead. In fairness to all there will be opportunity to purchase extra drinks throughout the evening so that each guest can imbibe according to his or her wishes (and means).

Dress code: causal, but all shades of red are welcome as the colour red is associated with many positive meanings in Chinese culture and is believed to bring good fortune, ward off evil spirits, and invite prosperity and happiness for the upcoming year.

This event is not to be missed – early booking is recommended to secure your place.
