Middlesex Dinner and Balloon Debate
An evening of dinner, debate and sporting heroes awaits…
Join us for the Lord's Taverners Middlesex Region's 31st Annual Dinner & Balloon Debate as we return to the iconic Long Room at Lord's Cricket Ground for one of the our most anticipated fundraising events.
Set against the backdrop of one of sport's most historic venues, guests will enjoy a three-course dinner, great company and an evening of lively entertainment as four guest speakers take to the stage to champion their chosen sporting hero.
Each speaker must persuade the audience why their sporting great deserves to remain aboard the balloon as it descends towards disaster. The arguments will be passionate, persuasive and often hilarious, but ultimately the audience will decide who stays airborne and who is thrown overboard.
Our panel of speakers will be announced soon, so watch this space for further updates.
