Lunch with a Prominent Politician, with a tour of The House of Commons

Celebrity experiences at the House Of Commons: Enjoy lunch with a leading politician and take a behind-the-scenes tour

Gala’s celebrity experiences suit every taste, so if your most valued client is a political animal, treat them to a day out in the UK’s corridors of power. We’re thrilled to invite you to explore behind the scenes at The House of Commons, breathing in centuries of political history on a guided tour of Westminster Hall, St Stephens Hall and the Commons and Lords debating chambers. Then fire your toughest questions at the political heavyweight of your choice.  

Explore the nerve centre of UK politics, with the country’s power players

It’s a humbling feeling to walk the historic halls of the House Of Commons – but Gala’s political celebrity experiences go even further. Once your tour is complete, you’ll be joined by the prominent politician of your choice for a sparky question-and-answer session. In the midst of an era of political, economic and social upheaval, it promises to be a revealing window into what really makes Britain tick. Plus, upon request, we can arrange a panel event with figures from across the political spectrum debating their views – and Sky News presenter Sophy Ridge keeping control of the flying sparks! 

The presentation will take place at your choice of Central Hall Westminster (which has welcomed such figures as Winnie Mandela, Mahatma Gandhi and Mikhail Gorbachev) or Lancaster House (where Winston Churchill hosted a Coronation Banquet for the newly crowned Queen Elizabeth II in 1953).

As for your special guest, we can offer the following heavyweight politicians, with many more names available upon request. 

Michael Portillo (former Conservative MP and cabinet minister)

William Hague (former Conservative Leader, Foreign Secretary and Leader of the House of Commons)

David Milliband (former Foreign Secretary and Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs)

Nick Clegg (former Liberal Democrats leader and Deputy Prime Minister in Britain’s first post-war coalition) 

David Blunkett (former Labour Home Secretary)

John Bercow (former Speaker of the House of Commons)
