Sarah Bowles and Philippa Barton are happy to arrange special events tailored to a particular group's needs, or for corporate clients. Such events could range from lectures, morning or afternoon visits or full days/weekends, either in or outside London.

Having run Dilettanti for over twenty years, both have a wide range of contacts and experience in setting up days of special interest and are happy to advise those who prefer to organize their events themselves. The fee for such services will obviously depend on the service required.

Below are some ideas.
 
 

The History and Architecture of London
The City of London
London is full of hidden treasures and architectural gems, as well as its famous museums and institutions. These can be discovered with Philippa and Sarah, who have a detailed knowledge of the history, architecture and social life of the City and the West End of London from medieval times to the present day.

   
 
 
  Spirit of the Age - The Tudors and Stuarts/The Georgians/The Regency/Victorian England
Paintings, fashion, decoration and furnishings vividly bring to life the culture and aspirations of society in a particular historic period. The unrivalled collections of, for example, the Victoria & Albert Museum, The National Portrait Gallery and Tate Britain can be used to illustrate the fascinating history of the evolution of taste and style.
   
 
 
  From Suburban Villa to Country house
There is a wealth of fine houses and collections on the outskirts of London and further afield, which can be used to illustrate a number of themes such as "The Country House and its Garden", "The Patron and Architect", "The Grand Tour and Collectors".
