Unveiling Excellence at Lucy Claire Events: International Women’s Day 2026
This International Women’s Day, as I celebrate 10 years of Lucy Claire Events, I’m reflecting on the theme Give to Gain — a message that resonates deeply with me as a female founder navigating an industry built on collaboration, creativity and resilience.
One of the most meaningful ways we “give” in events is through sustainability. Reducing food waste isn’t just a trend; it’s a responsibility. I’m committed to working with venues, chefs and food‑waste charities to champion smarter, more sustainable practices — from menu planning to post‑event redistribution. When we choose partners who share these values, everyone benefits – clients and communities. Later this month, I’ll be sharing an interview and insights from the Executive Chef of a world‑famous hotel.
This renewed sense of purpose aligns perfectly with the launch of our new website — a space that showcases our work, our approach and the venues we know inside out. Our first blog of the year is now live, featuring insights from Tenerife North and our visit to the newly re‑imagined Gran Hotel Taoro, a destination already inspiring conversations for retreats and incentives.
Behind the scenes, 2026 has begun with energy and momentum and a record number of venue finding and event bookings. We’ve been sourcing venues for a range of clients, curating image selections and shortlists that reflect the quality our clients expect. We’ve also welcomed a new American client searching for London venues — a lovely reminder of how far our reach now extends. With several new 2026 openings added to our Little Green Book, we’re excited to share the first of our “New for 2026” recommendations.
As we look ahead, our focus remains on excellence — in the venues we recommend, the events we deliver and the relationships we build. With the website live, new projects underway and a calendar already filling fast, 2026 is shaping up to be a standout year.
If you’re planning a retreat, awards ceremony, corporate party, boutique event or conference — or simply exploring venue options — we’d love to discuss your plans and how we can work together.
