Ladies Who Lead

This autumn, we’re proud to present Ladies Who Lead,  a three-part dinner series celebrating the women defining the future of design, art, and wine. Rooted in The Pem’s ethos of championing female talent,  on the plate and beyond,  this intimate series brings together some of the most inspiring creative voices in the UK today. Across three curated evenings throughout October and November, guests are invited to join exclusive in-conversation dinners paired with seasonal four-course tasting menus, each inspired by the evening’s guest.
