Schiaparelli at the V&A & Tea at The Franklin
Schiaparelli at the V&A & Tea at The Franklin
Join us for a beautifully curated afternoon that brings together fashion, culture, and a touch of indulgence.
We’ll begin with a visit to explore the world of Schiaparelli — a house known for its bold creativity, surrealist influence, and iconic designs that continue to shape modern couture. It’s a chance to slow down, take it in, and enjoy something visually inspiring together.
Afterwards, we’ll head to The Franklin Hotel for a tea or coffee. Tucked away in Knightsbridge, it offers a calm, intimate setting — the perfect contrast to the city and a space to continue conversations over beautifully presented teas and treats.
This is a softer, more refined gathering — ideal for those who enjoy thoughtful experiences and meaningful connection.
WHAT TO EXPECT
We’ll meet at 2:15pm outside the V&A, by the main entrance on Cromwell Road, on the front steps — an easy and recognisable meeting point. From there, we’ll head in together for our 2:30pm exhibition entry slot.
We’ll be heading in promptly at 2:30pm and won’t be able to wait beyond this, so we’d really encourage you to arrive on time to join the group. If you’ve purchased your exhibition ticket through us, this will be shared with you in advance — however, once inside, it can be quite difficult to locate the group, so arriving for the meeting time is the best way to experience this together.
Expect a relaxed and culturally rich start as we explore the exhibition at our own pace — taking in the details, creativity, and artistry, while naturally connecting as we go.
Afterwards, we’ll make our way to The Franklin Hotel, where the atmosphere becomes calm and intimate. We’ll continue conversations over tea and coffee in a beautifully considered setting.
For this event, there are a few ticket options depending on how you’d like to join:
- A combined ticket with both the exhibition and your place at the tea included
- A tea-only option, where you arrange your own exhibition ticket but join us afterwards
- Or you’re welcome to join us for the exhibition only, arranging your own exhibition ticket.
A softer, slower-paced afternoon designed for connection, inspiration, and easy conversation.
