The Bailliage had a wonderful World Chaîne Day. It was celebrated with a Gala Dinner hosted by His Excellency Mathew Lodge, Her Majesty’s Ambassador to Kuwait, and his wife, Alexia, in the Ambassador’s Residence of the British Embassy.

Built in the 1930s and called the political agency at the time, the very original atmosphere of the residence made for an intimate experience.

The Four Points By Sheraton Kuwait Hotel catered a stylish reception and a delectable menu.
