General information on events 

The Danish Club endeavours to organise at least one event per month as well as holding a number of regular events such as monthly bridge sessions and biannual golf meetings (spring and autumn). Other Club fixtures include a celebration of our patron, HM Queen Margrethe’s birthday, Mortensaften (St. Martin’s Eve), Danish Christmas lunches and Network evenings for the younger membership.

Events over the past year include a lobster party, a speciality cheese and wine evening, a concert by the popular Danish group, TV2 (organised jointly with the Danish YWCA and the Danish Church), a presentation by Peter Høgsted, the Danish MD of IKEA, a party for young Danes, and a gala dinner to celebrate the Club’s 140th birthday in the presence of Their Royal Highnesses The Duke and Duchess of Gloucester.

We also arrange joint events with the Anglo-Danish Society, the Danish Church, KFUK, and the Arts Club.

We’re keen to arrange new events and would like to hear from you if you have any ideas.

News on Club events is sent to members every quarter.
