Supper with the stars for Terrence Higgins Trust

Erin O’Connor, David Walliams, Matt Lucas, Laura Bailey, Lily Cole, Nick Rhodes, Alan Rickman, Jennifer Saunders and Isabella Blow are among celebrities expected to join friends at The Supper Club on1 November to raise money for Terrence Higgins Trust - the UK’s leading HIV and sexual health charity. 

Now in it’s fifth year, The Supper Club is an evening of 40 chic dinner parties held simultaneously in the capital's best restaurants and in private homes. After dinner, over 500 guests will be chauffeur driven from their dinner venues to a fabulous party at The Porchester Hall for champagne, Grey Goose Vodka cocktails and dancing.

Dinner host and internationally renowned model, Erin O’Connor said “I’m thrilled to be hosting a Supper Club dinner.  It’s a lovely event which combines an intimate meal with friends and a fabulous party.  The work Terrence Higgins Trust does is invaluable so I’m proud to be doing my bit.” 

Debbie Holmes, Director of Fundraising at Terrence Higgins Trust said “This year’s Supper Club looks set to be our most successful ever. We simply couldn’t do it without the hard work of all our dinner hosts and the generosity of the restaurants and caterers.  Around 7,000 people are still diagnosed with HIV each year.  The efforts of all those involved in the Supper Club promises to raise thousands of pounds for this incredibly important and often forgotten cause.”
