Join us for an exclusive evening at the former residence of Benjamin Franklin, Founding Father of the United States, in this the 250th anniversary of his foundation. The Grade I listed building functioned as a de facto embassy during Franklin’s almost-16-years in residence and retains a majority of its original features, from the floors and panelling to the staircase and, it is believed, the doorknocker!

We will have sole use of the house and will be led on a tour of the building and through the artefacts, including a glass armonica. Drinks will be provided, and we will go from Franklin’s House to the nearby Ship and Shovell pub, purportedly frequented by Franklin.
