To mark our anniversary, as it is our tradition, we are hosting a very special fundraising dinner on the 16th November. This year the recipient will be the Women’s Prize Trust. As a female founded business that is built on the shoulders of generations of maternal figures and their stories, it has always been important for us that women's stories continue to be told and heard, so the truly inspiring mission of the Women’s Prize Trust is very close to our hearts.

Join us for an evening of food, conversation, and readings by awarding winning writers and words from the founder of the Women’s Prize Trust, Kate Mosse.

We are asking for a minimum donation of £150 per person, which will include a selection of canapes, a welcome dinner, and a 4-course dinner. The evening will feature our border crossing maternal flavours, readings as well as an online auction, showcasing an exciting collection of unique experiences and special lots generously donated by friends of Jikoni and the Women’s Prize Trust. From unforgettable meals and cultural experiences to one-off opportunities and treasures, the auction is a chance to bid for something extraordinary while helping to support the Women’s Prize Trust.

You don’t need to be attending the dinner to take part in the auction — everyone is welcome to bid. 100% of the funds raised from the dinner and auction will support the Women’s Prize Trust and our work championing women’s voices and celebrating women’s writing. Come and raise a glass to ten years of Jikoni, enjoy a wonder evening of food and conversation, and help us celebrate the power of women’s stories.
