Societea at the Waldorf

Waldorf Astoria Edinburgh and The Pompadour by Galvin have announced that they will be holding the first in a series of ‘inspiring ladies afternoons’ on Thursday 12 March 2015. 

Guests will enjoy champagne in the salon before being led through to the Pompadour’s elegant dining room for a spectacular afternoon tea with award-winning Edinburgh-based author Sara Sheridan.

Sara will delight and surprise as she examines the role of British women from the mid-17th century into the early 20th century; exploring why social status was important, how the terms of ‘being a lady’ changed, the women who pushed and ultimately altered those boundaries and why female material is so hard to come by for historians. Sara will then mingle with guests answering questions and signing copies of her best-selling ‘Mirabelle Bevan Mysteries’ books, which everyone in attendance will receive.

Further Societea events are planned for April, May, June, September and October this year. Announcements will be made on the Pompadour’s website: www.thepompadourbygalvin.com
