Britain’s architectural heritage is one of the nation’s greatest assets and the Georgian period (broadly 1700-1837) gave us some of our most beautiful buildings. The Georgian Group is the national charity dedicated to preserving Georgian buildings and gardens. Every year we are consulted on over 6,000 planning applications involving demolition or alterations. Our intervention has helped save many Georgian buildings and has protected others from harm. It is often through our influence that a better solution is found. There is a great deal to do and we need your support, so please consider joining us in 2015.

Oliver Gerrish is a countertenor, Architectural Historian and Chairman of The Young Georgians.

Melanie Doderer-Winkler was on the committee.

Renowned for her love of chocolate and cakes, Zuleika understands about using the best ingredients possible to create your perfect cake, whether it’s your wedding, a celebration or just for you. Launched in January 2015, Zuleika Cakes has had a flying start with two massive cakes for a three day Asian Wedding for 450 guests, novelty birthday cakes including a fire blowing red lion (!) and most recently, a seven tier of mini cakes for a ball at Aynhoe Park. Zuleika was trained at the Peggy Porschen Academy. 

Sophie Edmonds and Oliver Gerrish have for several years organised Georgian theme events including a Georgian Valentine's Day ball at the British Library. Their Georgian Townhouse Parties are decadent soirees and balls which raise awareness for the Georgian Group, Britain's premier architectural preservation charity. uests luxuriate in the grandeur of the Georgian era enjoying historical feasts, interactive performances, period tableaux, baroque musicians and Quadrilles. Since 2010, the parties have taken over a number of magnificent venues since such as the Robert Adam splendors of 6 Fitzroy Square, a Mary Shelley-esque Subterranean vault in Clerkenwell, a Macaroon shop in Covent Garden, a grand private square garden in Belgravia, and one of Westminster's most palatial private houses.
