Esquire Townhouse, in association with Breitling, will open its doors over three days and nights between 17-19 October 2019. Esquire’s editors have curated a programme of live celebrity interviews, panel debates and masterclasses spanning fashion, culture, food & drink, design and travel. The luxury brand experience includes a pop-up members club with a selection of bars and live entertainment, a Sebastian professional barbershop and fitness morning featuring London’s leading wellness brands.
Confirmed to appear this year are Hollywood actor Alexander Skarsgard (Big Little Lies), Michael Stipe and Mike Mills of iconic American rock band R.E.M, Booker prize winning novelist Salman Rushdie, Academy-award winning director Asif Kapadia (Amy, Senna, Maradona), Olympic gold medal sailor Ben Ainslie, writer John Lanchester, and musician/author of the Sunday Times bestselling memoir ‘Bedsit Disco Queen’, Tracey Thorn (Everything but the Girl). The full line-up will be announced in due course.
Breitling will be fully integrated into the Townhouse experience and will help kick-off the event by co-hosting an opening night dinner – a celebration of best in class. The Breitling Loft will showcase the Breitling Worlds – Air, Land and Sea – and highlight the brand’s collections, alongside the Breitling lounge, where visitors can join the brand on a journey of discovery.
Other brands already confirmed as partners include Pommery Champagne, Cupra, Harvey Nichols, Bang & Olufsen, St James’s London, Malta Gozo & Comino, Fairmont Loves Film, Clarks and Highland Park Whisky.
