Elegant evenings of literature, conversation, dinner and wine.

@ Peirene Premises, 17 Cheverton Road, London N19 3BB

Our next Peirene Salon will be on Saturday 16th of June with Danish author Pia Juul in conversation with writer and journalist Melissa Benn.

"A combination of fringe theatre, psychiatrist's couch, conversazione society and flirtation parlour, the Peirene salon is unlike any other literary gathering. It was intellectually stimulating but full of laughter, argumentative but friendly, seriously focussed on the Novel but without forgetting the Wine. And Meike Ziervogel -- gracious, beautiful and just slightly wicked -- is the best salonniere since Madame Geoffrin in 18th century Paris." John Walsh, The Independent

Time: 7.30pm

The evening starts with drinks. The reading commences at 8.15pm, followed by dinner and wine. Whisky and coffee will be served at 11pm.

The Peirene Salons are now sponsored by The Wine Society. Thanks to them, our invitees will enjoy wonderful European wine.
