As part of the British & Irish Lions Tour celebrations, The Pillars was proud to host an exclusive evening with Michael Cheika, former Wallabies Head Coach (2014–2019) and one of the most respected voices in international rugby. In conversation with our Co-Founder Steve Grace, Michael shared a rare behind-the-scenes perspective on elite performance—covering everything from the mindset of world-class athletes to the parallels between high-performance coaching and leadership in business. Guests enjoyed an insightful, wide-ranging discussion on culture, trust, resilience, and what it takes to lead under pressure, all within the elegant surrounds of The Pillars. A perfectly poured Guinness on arrival set the tone for an evening that was both relaxed and deeply engaging. It was a privilege to welcome Michael to The Pillars and to share this experience with our members.

Thank you to all who joined us for a festive evening of mid-winter cheer at The Pillars. As the temperature dropped outside, the club came to life with the warmth of candlelight, the scent of mulled wine, and the familiar sounds of classic carols filling the Great Room. Guests grazed on hearty seasonal fare—crisp Yorkshire puddings, slow-roasted meats, and traditional Christmas pudding—while acoustic tunes and spirited conversation carried the evening into a joyful winter’s night. This special event also marked the beginning of our new Saturday program, designed to bring members together for memorable, end-of-week experiences. A fitting way to launch a series of weekends filled with great food, music, and connection. A truly magical night to remember.

Our opening event last week was an incredible celebration of community, creativity, and the beginning of something truly special. Over 350 members and guests came together to enjoy Ruinart Champagne, exceptional food by Eleven Barrack — including an exquisite oyster bar — and unforgettable live performances by iconic Australian artists Ben Lee and Sam Fischer. It was a night of connection, conversation, and celebration — a fitting start to the journey ahead. Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped bring this moment to life.

We were delighted to host an exclusive styling experience in partnership with @NETAPORTER at The Pillars.

The immersive experience offered guests a first look inside The Pillars, blending elevated fashion with our signature hospitality—champagne in hand, conversations flowing, and every detail considered. A celebration of style, service, and the art of refined living.

We had an inspiring morning at our International Women's Day Breakfast!
