Sensora 1.0: May 2026
5 May 2026. HERE at Outernet, London. One night. One cause.
The first Sensora was built with my brother Mark, a chef, on a simple idea: if you want people who do not go to charity dinners to turn up, make it an evening they would pay for anyway. Here is what it looked like.
Six-Course Menu
A bespoke tasting menu crafted by a selection of Michelin-starred chefs. Unique food you will not find anywhere else, for one night only.
BICEP Live
After dinner, BICEP took over. Electronic music at its finest and the right closer to the evening.
HERE at Outernet
One of London's most spectacular and immersive venues. Not a hotel ballroom. Not a stiff gala. Something genuinely different.
The Right Room
People whose lives have been touched by this disease, alongside friends, partners, and supporters who want to help drive real change.
The Cause
Brain tumours are the biggest cancer killer of people in their younger years.
Yet those most affected often feel invisible in the wider conversation. Brain tumour research has historically received a fraction of the funding given to other cancers, and the survival rates reflect that.
The Brain Tumour Charity is the world's leading brain tumour research funder. Every pound raised goes directly towards giving families more time, more hope, and better outcomes.
This evening exists because that needs to change, and because the best way to drive change is to bring people together properly. Unique food. Great music. Good people. All for a cause that needs more attention.
Why a second one
The first Sensora proved the format works: people came, money was raised for research, and nobody talked about golf. Sensora 2.0 exists to do it again, bigger, for a cause that still gets a fraction of the attention it deserves.
