🏰 St Mary's Guildhall: A historic venue for a noble cause

Our venue, the iconic St Mary's Guildhall, provides the perfect backdrop for an evening of elegance and purpose. Steeped in history and architectural beauty, this 14th century medieval gem in the heart of Coventry will set the stage for an exquisite gastronomic adventure in support of Guide Dogs UK. As you savour each course, let the echoes of centuries past enhance the magic of your dining experience.

🎤Inspirational after dinner speaker: Blind not broken

Lucy Edwards, a UK-based blind broadcaster, content creator, Pantene ambassador, disability activist, and guide dog owner, embarked on an extraordinary journey of self-acceptance and happiness after losing her eyesight. Her transformative story gained global recognition when she became the first British blind person to pave the way for change on YouTube with her video 'blind girl does her own makeup,' reaching over 700,000 views. Lucy, with over 500,000 subscribers on YouTube, 1.7 million followers on TikTok, and more than 300 million views, demonstrates through her regular videos that disability is no barrier to success.

Don't miss the opportunity to hear Lucy deliver an inspirational after-dinner speech where she will share the story of her remarkable journey and how she continues to inspire positive change.
