Penelope Alice dines in style at The HAC
I’m a sucker for historic venues, so I knew I couldn’t turn down the chance to experience private dining at The Honourable Artillery Company (The HAC) with my fellow PA Life Club members. The HAC is a stunning Georgian house set tucked away from the hustle and bustle of the City near Moorgate station. It’s […]
PENELOPE ALICE LIVES LIKE ROYALTY AT THE RITZ LONDON
I adore the fact that afternoon tea comes in so many forms, but the nice traditional option will always appeal to me. Few can argue that there’s a better traditional offering than that of The Ritz London, one of the capital’s most prestigious and beautiful hotels. I joined my fellow PA Life Club members for […]

Penelope Alice goes for a ride at the Porsche Experience Centre

Penelope Alice breaks Prohibition at The Ivory Vaults
I love a well-themed event and that’s exactly what I got when I joined around 100 other assistants at a PA Life event at The Ivory Vaults, where the team went all out in 1920s fashion. The Ivory Vaults – also home to The Medieval Banquet – is tucked away in St Katherine Docks near […]
Penelope Alice eats, meets & competes at Woburn House

Penelope Alice swings in the trees at Go Ape
You know that feeling you sometimes get when you’re drifting off to sleep and you suddenly jerk awake because you think you’re falling?
