In June, we were delighted to hear that the Waugh Corner has been awarded a small community grant by Leicester’s Everybody’s Reading<\/a> festival. This year the festival runs from 27th September-5th October, with book-themed events popping up all over the city. And our contribution to this? To throw a party, of course.<\/p>\n

A few costume suggestions from Stephen Fry’s\u00a0Bright Young Things <\/em>(2003)<\/p><\/div>\n

On Thursday 2nd October, the downstairs bar of the Crumblin’ Cookie<\/a> will be transformed into the Old Hundreth, serving authentic twenties cocktails and Waugh-themed food (no plovers’ eggs, ice swans or human flesh I’m afraid) and playing the kind of hideous “modern” music Evelyn Waugh\u00a0despised. So why not come dressed as\u00a0your favourite Bright Young Thing\u00a0and\u00a0sip a mint julep while the Waugh Book Group<\/a> entertain you with readings from their favourite Waugh novels?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
