A life lived in the spotlight. The highs, the lows, and everything in between.

On Wednesday, 16 September, we welcome Ben Cousins to The George for an honest and deeply personal conversation about his life, his career, his struggles and the moments that shaped him.

No polish. No pretence. Just Ben, telling his story in the most raw and authentic way.

An evening of stories, reflection and a rare glimpse behind the headlines.

In September Devonshire Tea is coming to The George Hotel 🫖

Some stories are best enjoyed slowly, with a cup of hot tea and a delicate scone in hand.

Imagine afternoons from another era, when tea was an occasion to pause, gather and enjoy good conversation.

At The George Hotel, our Devonshire Tea brings a little of that tradition to life. Warm, freshly baked scones are served with raspberry jam and whipped cream, accompanied by a pot of tea and presented in fine china. Just in time for Spring!

Bookings are available via our website or just pop in & see us 🫖🤍🌟
