The Favourite, a star studded, acclaimed film about Queen Anne and her favourites, was released about a month ago so it should still be showing in Zürich in April. If you want to see it join us and then have a snack afterwards. Hopefully it will be in the Bellvue area, or Central, where there are several Italian or similar suitable restaurants. Should “The Favourite” no longer be running then another British film could be chosen. (Suggestions always welcomed.) Meet: At the cinema to be named ASAP Important: Please contact us as soon as possible, so that we can send you more information when available nearer the time.

Weather permitting we can be in the garden, enjoying the delicious Apero. We are delighted to welcome once again our Deputy Ambassador, Richard Ridout and possibly also our Ambassador Jane Owen if she is not called away on an emergency. You will be greeted by our traditional bagpiper in full Highland regalia. We await confirmation of the presence of Kevin Griffiths and his duo who will give you a musical interlude. It was particularly moving last year to listen to the lovely traditional British music on the lawns, under the trees with view of the Lake and distant mountains. The Belvoir Restaurant is one of Zurich’s oldest and most elegant villas and is now the home of one of Switzerland’s leading Hotel Management schools. Once again we welcome an enthusiastic Team of Hull School Students who will organise an Information Table and enhance this celebration.
