F O R E WO R D Welcome to Little Book of Wonders, a taster menu of tomorrow’s treasured moments; or at least grand days and evenings out. Available online and by invitation only, the service offers a unique selection of events and experiences as well as monthly instalments of the sharpest reading matter. Whether you want to sit front row at a fashion show or sample fine wines, go backstage on opening nights or play the ultimate round of golf, our team curates inspirational ideas and experiences that will live long in the memory. We hope you will find something special here for you and your family. The team at Little Book of Wonders
THE IDEA The idea was born out of our desire to leverage our existing relationships with brand partners for the benefit of our clients. Little Book of Wonders provides an opportunity to present a wide range of experiences and rich editorial content, allowing clients to self - select up to five complimentary events each year based on their interests and brand preferences. We work with some of the world’s most recognisable and respected luxury brands, as well as supporting emerging talents.
Our EVENTS Since launching the service in 2012 we have delivered more than 600 events, receiving widespread praise from our clients. Some of the standout invitations recently featured include the chance to drive an Aston Martin with the man who taught Daniel Craig how to take his corners, behind-the-scenes access to Tosca rehearsals with the Royal Opera House, VIP seats at the Valentino fashion show in Paris, and the opportunity to be a zookeeper for a day with the Aspinall Foundation.
