The newly reopened Mark’s Club was followed by a cigar tasting by Nick Foulkes and an Icons of Burgundy Wine Dinner. The week culminated in an intimate breakfast talk with Wallace Chan at Annabel’s, leading up to the main event: a spectacular gala dinner…

Richard and Patricia Caring, the renowned hospitality tycoons, know how to throw a party, and this was no exception! Guests included Wallace Chan, Edward Tang, Jonathan Cheung, Han Chong, Veronica Chou, Emily Lam-Ho, Kent Ho, Eliza Ruston Pang, and Christina You attended and were welcomed by a surprise operatic performance by Katherine Jenkins OBE and DJ Mimi Xu for the after party.

The evening was nothing short of spectacular, with distinguished guests flying in from all over the world to witness the unveiling of Wallace Chan’s latest masterpieces, “Fish In Waves” and titanium sculptures “Petals” in an exclusive debut at the one and only Annabel’s.

Richard Caring made his start with a business in Hong Kong and is now the chairman of The Birley Clubs. It was only a matter of time before the Carings hosted a night of extreme glamour celebrating a resident artist during Frieze. Patricia says, “London is the centre of the world, and during Frieze each year, it becomes a melting pot of culture and creativity. We are excited to open our doors and welcome the Asian and international community to explore all our clubs, as each one has its own distinctive style.”

Earlier this year Richard and Patricia had the privilege of welcoming Wallace Chan to Annabel’s and immediately felt a connection to him and his work. “We felt so honoured to welcome a man with such a pure heart and were certain that this would be the right moment to collaborate.”

This year also marks several significant milestones for the couple: Harry’s Bar is celebrating its 45th anniversary, Mark’s Club has undergone an extensive renovation here, and George is marking its first year since reopening. Richard and Patricia Caring are proving that there is no limit to their vision for the future of London’s luxury scene. As Frieze London continues to shine as one of the world’s premier art events, the Carings and The Birley Clubs remain at the heart of the city’s social and cultural landscape, blending art, hospitality, and glamour in a way only they can.
