Peterborough Bondholder Dinner – Catering und Veranstaltungsmanagement – Interessenbekundung

Peterborough City Council's Annual Bondholder Dinner is a black-tie evening at Peterborough Cathedral that attracts around 350 local business leaders. This is one of the biggest networking events of the year and a highlight in our annual calendar. As part of the evening, there is a welcome drinks reception with canapes, and a three course sit down meal for businesses to enjoy with their guests. We have detailed below our requirements for the night along with what we have done with suppliers in the past but the Council is open to suggestions to ensure the evening runs smoothly.
