Splendid night at the George & Devonshire!

Stephen Parissien presenting the gin tasting

The Trust’s gin-tasting event was sold out – an appreciative audience of 50 people packed into the room to hear Steven Parissien’s excellent lecture and tutored tasting.

The pub did us proud with a very traditional beef stew and trifle supper for which most of the participants stayed on after the tasting – thanks to them for being so helpful with the arrangements.

The event made a modest profit which will be put towards some of the works at Hogarth’s House.

Hogarth’s Birthday, 10 November

Hogarth was born on 10 November 1697 and died in October 1764.

Every year on that date we lay flowers at his statue in Chiswick High Road in West London. We have even been known to sing Happy Birthday in honour of the occasion!

This year supporters of the Trust will be at the statue once again, at noon on 10 November.
