About this event

Step into Georgian London for an intimate evening with Dr Peter Ross. Discover the era’s appetite for food, drink and indulgence in the cosy former home of J. M. W. Turner, with Georgian-themed drinks and treats.

Join us for an intimate and entertaining evening with Dr Peter Ross, author of the recently published Insatiable Appetites: Eating Out in Georgian London, exploring the fascinating world of Georgian food, drink and excess.

Set within the cosy former home of J. M. W. Turner, we’ll step back into the Georgian era through Peter’s lively lecture, followed by an array of Georgian-themed drinks and treats to enjoy.

A special evening of history, art, conversation and indulgence — all in the atmospheric surroundings of Turner’s house.
