Going to Britain with the Big British Invite
British Airways and VisitBritain kicked off “The Big British Invite (www.thebigbritishinvite.com)” with a star-studded soiree featuring some of the hottest, up-and-coming talent from New York to London.
Hosted by Downton Abbey actor Dan Stevens and Grammy Award-winning singer/songwriter Estelle with appearances by Alexa Chung, Atlanta de Cadenet, Kate Foley, Tali Lennox and Zanna Roberts Rassi, the opening night reception was the precursor to a two-day consumer pop-up in New York City on Saturday, March 23, and Sunday, March 24.
The Big British Invite showcases the prolific scenes shaping contemporary England, Scotland and Wales – from food and fashion to music and nightlife.
