Secret Dining Society: 'Confection' (16th & 17th August)

Tickets to this tantalising taste adventure may be sold out, but heck if we're keeping it a secret. Another note hitting supper club from Carl Finn, Confection may boast the same mist of secrecy as previous Secret Dining Society ventures, but we're all over the sweet-toothed theme. A food event with no preconceptions, this is a dinner nuzzling night on the tiles that we should all be talking about.
