The win will include event management and the catering for the UK’s only annual book award for fiction written by a woman, now in its eighteenth year.

The event will be attended by 600 guests and takes place on Wednesday 5 June in The Clore Ballroom of the Royal Festival Hall.

Stevie Congdon, director of Lettice, said: "It’s a fantastic opportunity for us to be producing and managing the Women’s Prize for Fiction this year as well as supplying the catering. We’re working really hard to create an event that showcases the prize under its new name with a fresh look to celebrate this important and prestigious prize."

Lettice said it will transform the ballroom into an elegant soirée with satin chandeliers, mirrored glass tables and soft cream furnishings, taking inspiration from the new prize branding of silvers, soft greens and whites.

It said the food offering will be summer-themed and full of seasonal produce such as asparagus and Jersey new potatoes.

Set up in 1996, the Women’s Prize for Fiction is awarded for the best novel of the year written by a woman, of any nationality, age, country of residence or subject matter, in English.

This year judges including BBC broadcaster and journalist Razia Iqbal, and actress Miranda Richardson, who is also the chair of the Women's Prize for Fiction, will award one winner with a cheque for £30,000 and a limited edition bronze statue known as the Bessie, created by artist Grizel Niven.
