Please come and join us at the delightful Heidi Chelsea bakery and cafe - entrance opposite Ormonde gate!
Heidi Chelsea is located in the stunning Grade II listed Soane Stable Yard, part of the historic Royal Hospital Chelsea and home of the Chelsea Pensioners. This forty-cover bakery is within the historic horse stalls of the stable yard, which was built by Sir John Soane between 1814 and 1817.

We will meet at 10am to walk around the event at our own pace until 11.15am, before making our way to one of the talks in the week's 'Conversations in Design Series', from 11.30am-12.30pm. The talk will be:
"Trailblazers and Icons"
11.30am-12.30pm
Hosted by Homes & Gardens
Interior design is a discipline where women enjoy an equal standing with their male counterparts, yet it is typically framed as a design practice secondary to the heroic role of architect or furniture designer. This session celebrates leading female talent – the visionaries, icons and innovators whose memorable work will continue to redefine how we live, work and experience spaces. Chaired by Sarah Spiteri.

Described by the Sunday Times as 'a fascinating revelation of an adventurous and protean spirit’, this biography is the inspiration behind the 2024 film Lee, starring Kate Winslet as Lee Miller. Beautiful, bewitching and an exceptionally good photographer, Lee Miller was one of life’s adventurers. She became a Vogue cover girl in 1920s New York before embracing Paris, photography and Surrealism, and then dramatically changed her life yet again, reinventing herself as a war correspondent, notably covering the liberation of Dachau. These are but three of the many lives of Lee Miller, intimately recorded here by her son, Antony Penrose. Featuring a selection of Miller’s finest work, including portraits of her friends Picasso, Tanning and Ernst, Penrose’s tribute to his mother brings to life a uniquely talented woman and the turbulent times in which she lived.
