Entertaining, with a Side of Chaos photo
Join India Hicks for an entertaining and candid conversation celebrating her new book, Entertaining, With a Side of Chaos. Drawing on a life lived between grand traditions and gloriously imperfect reality, Hicks shares her distinctive approach to hospitality, home and the art of bringing people together. With warmth, wit,  plenty of personal stories, illustrated with images from the book, she will explore the pleasures – and occasional pitfalls – of entertaining, from beautifully laid tables to unexpected moments of chaos. Discover how to embrace the joy of gathering, and why the most memorable occasions are rarely the most perfect.
