7TH SISTER EXPERIENCES · FOR THE CURIOUS
7TH SISTER EXPERIENCES
We create the reason to gather.
Original nights dreamed up by the house — food, cocktails, music, ideas, stories, culture, film and science, combined into gatherings you couldn’t have anywhere else. Sometimes you bring the occasion. These are the nights we bring it.
A night made only for tonight
7TH SISTER EXPERIENCES
Original gatherings, created by the house.
Most of the year, guests bring us the reason to celebrate. Experiences are the other way round — nights we invent, program and host ourselves, built to be interesting first and everything else second.
Each one combines the things the house does well — a menu, a bar, a room, a performance, an idea — into a single evening. The concept is always clear before you buy. Some of the delight is saved for the night itself.
7TH SISTER EXPERIENCES
For the curious.
It describes a mindset, not a demographic. Experiences are for people who want to discover something — through food, music, ideas, stories, culture, science, film, or simply a different kind of night out. When we announce one, we want a single reaction: what are they doing? That sounds interesting. We’re going.
The kinds of nights we create
A rotating set of formats, each with its own personality. This is the shape of what we make — not a fixed calendar. The lineup changes with the season, the room and whoever we’re collaborating with.
FOOD-LED
The Supper Club
A chef builds a menu around a theme, a place or a story — a single long table, courses that arrive with a reason, and a night that tastes like an idea.
Come hungry. Leave curious.
SOUND-LED
Sound & Sessions
Live sets, listening nights and musicians in rooms that were built before amplification — where the house itself is part of the sound.
The room is an instrument.
STORY-LED
Reel & Table
Film and story paired with a menu made to match — a screening, a reading or a conversation, then dinner that picks up where it left off.
Dinner with a plot.
IDEA-LED
Curious Minds
Science, history and big ideas over cocktails — a speaker, a demonstration or a salon, in a house with a few good stories of its own.
Come for the topic. Stay for the table.
HOW IT WORKS
Clear enough to say yes to. Surprising enough to be worth it.
Each experience comes with a clear concept, a date and what’s included — so you know exactly what you’re saying yes to before you buy a seat.
01
We announce the night
Each experience comes with a clear concept, a date and what’s included — so you know exactly what you’re saying yes to before you buy a seat.
02
You claim a seat
Most experiences are ticketed or seat-limited. Some are open to all; some are intimate by design. Join the list and you’ll hear first when seats open.
03
The night does the rest
You arrive knowing the shape of the evening — and we save a little delight for the room itself. That’s the part we don’t put on the invitation.
AN EXPERIENCE, END TO END
A night that moves through the house — and changes as it goes.
No two experiences are alike, but they tend to carry you somewhere. A rough shape of an evening:
ARRIVAL
Cocktails in the lounge
A drink built for the night and a room set to spark conversation — you feel the theme before anyone explains it.
THE MAIN EVENT
The thing you came for
The performance, the screening, the talk, the tasting — the idea at the center of the evening, staged in a room that suits it.
THE TABLE
Dinner, made for tonight
A menu created specifically for this experience — food that continues the story rather than interrupting it.
AFTER
Music below
The night loosens into its last act — a nightcap, a set, a conversation with a stranger who came for the same strange, wonderful reason you did.
Nights past & nights to come
Good questions
What exactly is a 7th Sister Experience?
An original gathering we create, program and host ourselves — as opposed to a private event you book for your own occasion. Each one blends food, cocktails, music, ideas, stories, culture, film or science into a single evening designed to be genuinely interesting.
Are these public, or private?
Both, depending on the night. Some experiences are open to anyone who buys a seat; others are intimate and seat-limited by design. Every announcement makes clear which kind it is.
How do I find out about upcoming experiences?
Join the list and you’ll hear first when a new experience is announced and when seats open — many of the smaller ones fill quickly. It’s the surest way not to miss the one that’s exactly your kind of strange.
Will I know what I’m getting before I buy?
Yes. The concept, the date and what’s included are always clear before you claim a seat. We save some delight for the night itself — but never the important details.
Can I host a private version of an experience?
Often, yes. Many experience formats can be adapted into a private gathering for your group. Tell us which one caught your eye and we’ll talk through a private version.
I’m an artist, chef or curator — can we collaborate?
We’d love to hear it. A lot of the best experiences start with someone bringing us an idea. Send us what you’re imagining and let’s see what the house can make of it.
DON’T MISS THE NEXT ONE
Be first to hear what we’re dreaming up.
Join the list for first word on upcoming experiences and when seats open. Or bring us an idea — some of our favorite nights started with someone else’s.
