CHRISTMAS CHAMBER LUNCH

TUESDAY 3RD DECEMBER

PENDLEY MANOR HOTEL, TRING

12:00 – 16:00

MEMBERS: £69 + VAT

NON-MEMBERS: £79 + VAT

This year, the Chamber is delighted to be holding its popular Christmas Chamber Lunch in The Rose Garden Suite at Pendley Manor Hotel in Tring. Guest speaker will be announced shortly.

This extended event will feature a delicious two-course lunch, a chance to catch up with existing business contacts with the opportunity to meet and network with potential clients. We are looking forward to celebrating Christmas with you all and enjoying a festive lunch with friends and colleagues at this luxurious venue.

Our special guest speakers at the Christmas Lunch will be The Tempest Two, who have established themselves as the go-to speakers for businesses wanting to motivate their teams to remove the word “can’t” and rethink their own potential. Unlike most speakers, their greatest strength is their relatability—no gold medals, no military expertise... just two normal friends who have discovered their true potential through an extraordinary mindset.

The pair’s journey has taken them across 54 days rowing the Atlantic, setting world records in Patagonia, and spending three days climbing the vertical granite face of El Capitan. They bring their experiences to life, delivering impactful sessions full of adventure, learning, and tangible takeaways.

With a client list that includes Airbnb, Google, JP Morgan, and Microsoft, The Tempest Two deliver high-impact sessions designed to inspire and transform audiences.
