Summer of Culture: ‘Moving to Mars’ afternoon tea 

The journey to the Red Planet has become one of the great challenges of our time. In a ground-breaking exhibition at The Design Museum which opens on 16th October, discover how every detail in this extraordinary endeavour must be designed.  

This afternoon tea at The Milestone Hotel & Residences, opposite Kensington Palace, will be hosted by Emily Watson, curator of ‘Moving to Mars’, who will give an exclusive insight into its design fiction, immersive experiences, new commissions and collaborations with contemporary designers. Discover how a Mars colony might evolve, from the spaceships to be used for the eight-month journey to the habitats that people will live in. 

You’ll enjoy a delicious afternoon tea Cheneston's Restaurant with a delicate array of finger sandwiches, warm freshly baked scones piled high with Devonshire clotted cream and home-made preserves, and a selection of space-themed pastries.
