Walpole members are invicted to Design Centre, Chelsea Harbour for Walpole’s annual Culture & Creativity Dinner, with guest speaker Alex Beard CBE, Chief Executive of the Royal Opera House who will be discussing: ‘why is creativity a necessity, not a luxury’?

Tuesday 9th October 2018
6.30pm to 10pm 
Design Centre, Chelsea Harbour, London SW10 0XE

Creativity is the driving force of the long, close relationship between high culture and the high-end sector. But creativity shouldn’t have a price tag and luxury shouldn’t be defined by its cost – we have a responsibility to work harder than ever to make the exceptional experiences we create accessible to a wider audience: to help them look under the bonnet, to see craftsmen and creatives use their skills to bring something magical to life .

The Royal Opera House is a brilliant example of how this is achievable: their Open UP project makes this extraordinary space more accessible to more people than ever – is this a model that every luxury brand should explore?

Please note, this event is for Walpole members only.
