Christmas Lunch Tickets

Yes, with the event itself just six and a half weeks away, tickets for the famous GAG Christmas lunch are now on sale.

Once again we will be in the fine surroundings of the Members' Dining Room of the House of Commons, with the bonus of a reception beforehand in Parliament's Terrace Pavilion.

Andrew Pierce of the Telegraph will be our after lunch speaker this year.

And thanks to Rebecca Whitney and her team at Electus, who are this year's sponsors of the lunch.

Some members, not least those on the committee, were slightly concerned that Dod's takeover of Political Wizard might have spelt an end to the free drinks reception in the Red Lion afterwards, which helpfully bridges the gap between lunch and dinner for those otherwise at a loose end. Thankfully those worries can be allayed, as Dod's will be continuing this venerable tradition.

You can find out more about the lunch by clicking here, or, if you are already persuaded, click here to download the ticket application form.

We usually sell out, so my advice is to get in quickly.
