Sponsored by Jaguar, the fundraising event will take place in the new, vivid red Serpentine Gallery Pavilion designed by world-renowned architect Jean Nouvel, and will feature an exclusive performance from one of Britain’s leading music stars.   

Guests will be invited to play with champion players on the red table-tennis tables, have their heartbeats recorded in French artist Christian Boltanski’s installation The Heart Archive, and view the work of artist Wolfgang Tillmans in the galleries.

Absolute Taste’s Pavilion-inspired food will be complemented with cocktails by Boujis and champagne from Laurent Perrier.

Experiential agency Imagination has built a 20-metre digital animation especially for the party, which will also see Seb Fontaine and Queens of Noize as guest DJs.

Famous faces from the worlds of international art, film, fashion and business are expected to attend, with the proceeds going directly to the gallery’s internationally acclaimed exhibitions, architecture, design, education and public programmes.
