Tuesday, July 14, 2026, 5.30pm to 8.30pm EDT
The British American Business Council (BABCNE) has kindly organized this event for the Anglophile community. Faq's and the registration form are here.
A Proper Boston Tea Party!
It has been 250 years since a certain… let’s say misunderstanding… regarding our favourite caffeinated beverage. To celebrate America 250, the British are crossing the pond once again (quite a few have been here for a while) to host a historic do-over (to borrow a phrase from our colonist friends).
Please join us for an evening of trans-Atlantic friendship, brilliant conversation, and stunning views as we raise a cup (and perhaps a glass) to two and a half centuries of American independence!
The "Tea Tax"
Given that the last British taxation programme didn’t quite work out, we have a new proposal: No Representation Without Taxation!
Attendees are kindly required to pay the official Tea Tax (Admission Fee: $65 per person), an amount set following the directive of the ‘65 Stamp Act (1765 that is).
The harbour is perfectly safe tonight, our Red Coats have agreed to Lay Down Their Arms and we kindly ask that all tea leaves remain securely inside the Federal Reserve to prevent any more ‘hiccups’ in our great relationship!
We have a special gift for each attendee! In return for paying the Tea Tax, attendees will be given a free personal membership of the BABCNE until the end of 2026, www.babcne.org to provide you with Representation - see what we did there?!
We look forward to an evening celebrating the enduring alliance, thriving business connections and shared biotech innovations between our two great nations.
This event is kindly sponsored by:
