Taking place from 12-15 October, the four-day luxury brand experience will once again take over London’s 10-11 Carlton Terrace with a curation of live talks, interviews and masterclasses showcasing the best in the world of style, sport, TV, technology, travel, food and film, says Hearst.
Activity planned for the event includes a TED talk with Russell Brand, an audience with Sir Geoff Hurst, an evening with Steven Knight and Cillian Murphy, an interview with Paul Smith, a ‘What I’ve Learned’ session with Mark Cavendish and a ‘My Life in Books’ talk with Alan Hollinghurst. The Townhouse will also host a series of wine tastings, supper clubs and fitness classes with leading trainers from Equinox, Third Space, Barry’s Bootcamp, F45, BXR and Triyoga. In addition to offering ticketed events, continues Hearst, the Townhouse will be the ultimate pop-up members club for the Esquire audience.
Brands will be fully integrated into Esquire Townhouse activity with Dior hosting an exclusive pop-up fragrance discovery experience, LG SIGNATURE showcasing its range of ultra-premium products in a space designed by fashion designer Patrick Grant, and Martin Miller’s Gin offering guests a selection of gin masterclasses. In addition, Lexus will be demonstrating its premium Mark Levinson audio systems and offering luxury test drive experiences.

Utilising our luxury consumer database, we will attract a high net worth audience and drive attendance over the four days.
