The Audacity of Boulton Tour will hold us accountable for the global issues that our generation face today.

Don’t Settle are taking over Soho House - the family home of the man on our £50 note: Matthew Boulton. Boulton is regarded as a hero for being a successful engineering industrialist for over 200 years.

For Festival of Audacity, this immersive tour will enable you to interact with history and make informed choices about the present. Boulton will charm you into going into business with him, but our Curators will reveal how what we buy can contribute to human exploitation and the climate crisis.

You can drop-in throughout the day, and expect:

• Food and drink
• Fun activities
• 20 minute tours running from 11am, 11.30am, 12pm, 1.30pm, 2.00pm, and 2.30pm*
• Celebrations at 3.00pm

So, will you advocate for change or remain silent in the 21st century?

*Please arrive 5 minutes before the start time as no late comers will be able to attend. If you wish to attend without a ticket, please arrive an extra 5 minutes before so we can check for spaces.
