The comapny has been appointed by event PR agency Four Colman Getty to provide a champagne and canapé reception, as well as dinner for the evening’s 500 guests.

During the ceremony, which will mark the 45th anniversary of the Man Booker Prize, six shortlisted authors will each be presented with a cheque for £2,500 and a hand-bound edition of their book. The Man Booker Prize-winner will then receive £50,000 in a ceremony that will be broadcast by the BBC.

The six shortlisted entrants include A Tale for the Time Being by Ruth Ozeki; Harvest by Jim Crace; The Lowland by Jhumpa Lahiri; The Luminaries by Eleanor Catton; The Testament of Mary by Colm Toibin; and We Need New Names by Novoilet Bulawayo.

Gail Heron, sales and marketing manager at Moving Venue, said: "We pride ourselves on being experts at partnering with companies for awards ceremonies, and it’s extremely exciting to be able to cater at such a high-profile event. I’m positive the evening will be a great success for all involved."

Lisa Perkins, event manager at Four Colman Getty, added: "We are looking forward to working with Moving Venue on one of our favourite events of the year. Following a fantastic tasting we are looking forward to seeing it unfold on the night."
