The Bhutan Society organises several events each year, in London and elsewhere, for Society members.

The next events will be:

Annual Reception
Friday 14th November 6:30pm - 9:00pm

Venue: The In and Out (Naval and Military) Club in Central London, 4 St James’s Square London SW1Y 4JU.

Our annual members get together is not to be missed!  Our best attended event, it is a lively exchange of traveller’s tales, Bhutanese insights, and special interests. Come to reconnect with old friends and make new ones.
We have arranged a short, exciting and eclectic musical interlude comprising folk dances and music performed by undergraduate and postgraduate students. Tasty canapes and delicious small bowls will be served throughout the evening,

Bhutanese students studying around the UK will come together to sing and perform traditional Bhutanese dances in their national dress.  These non-religious dances typically describe historical events, mythical tales, and aspects of daily life and national identity.  

• Tom Broadbent and Harry Keith, graduates of the University of Warwick this year, will play a selection of contemporary and classical British folk music.  Harry Keith draws on the traditional music of Perthshire, Scotland and is a regular at London folk sessions on the cello and piano, he also plays pipes competitively for the Standard Triumph Pipe Band.  Tom Broadbent is a multi-instrumentalist from the south-west having developed an interest in contemporary British folk at university.  Tom and Harry session regularly as a duo around the UK, blending traditional tunes with contemporary and jazz influences.

• Natasha Keith is a 21 year old actor and soprano, currently in her final year of undergraduate vocal study at the Royal College of Music. As an active member of the National Youth Theatre, she uses her acting training to steer her performances of classical art song and aria. Most recent credits include The Crucible at the Bridewell Theatre.

The dress code is lounge suits (with tie) or National Dress. This could be a chance to wear that Bhutanese garment you brought back and sits in the drawer, or your own national dress. Let's make it a celebration of music, and colour!

We are especially delighted that the event will be attended by HE Tshoki Choden, Royal Bhutan Government Ambassador to the EU. 

We strongly encourage you to bring guests to enjoy this very convivial annual event with us. Young guests are especially welcome to meet the students who are the future of Bhutan.   The evening is a wonderful social and networking event for those who love Bhutan and those who wish to know more.
