Enter the intoxicating world of baroque Versailles, its Kings and courtiers - a world of symbolism and artifice, sophistication and intrigue...

6.45pm: Guests arrive for a champagne reception

7.15pm: Guests are seated on small round tables in the ballroom on which a bottle of wine and French-style canapes are waiting. Each table also has an envelope inside which a naughtily-named piece of music themed on liasons dangereux (original 18th century titles) is written. The musicians play the pieces on demand.

8.15/30pm: Once the programme is finished, guests and musicians mingle as the French-style dessert buffet is revealed.
