The BBC Correspondents’ Charity Dinner is back!

Join us on Monday 29 June at The Langham, London for an unforgettable evening that goes behind the headlines at the BBC. 

Leading BBC correspondents, editors and presenters will join our guests and host each table in The Langham's Grand Ballroom. Expect candid conversations, fascinating insights, and behind-the-scenes perspectives from the people who shape the news.

Previous hosts have included household names such as David Dimbleby, Reeta Chakrabarti, Katya Adler, Ben Thompson and Michael Buerk.

Alongside this unique glimpse into life behind the headlines at the BBC, guests will enjoy entertainment from a star BBC emcee, and a stellar auction with exclusive money can’t buy BBC prizes, including Centre Court tickets for both Wimbledon Finals with access to the BBC commentary box, behind-the-scenes set visits to top BBC programmes, and much more!

Plus, guests will be treated to what promises to be a fascinating after-dinner speech from adventurer, best-selling author and TV presenter Simon Reeve.
