The biggest event of the social season kicked off last night. Here’s everything you need to know about the first day of Esquire Townhouse Middle East

The day kicked off with a workout session hosted by Technogym, with support from Under Armour and its space-aged apparel. After a healthy breakfast, guests toured the many rooms and activations available in the Townhouse; including walk in closets by Eden Park, grooming rooms by Chaps & Co., and dedicated tailor, courtesy of Sartor.

Following a cooking masterclass – helmed by Galvin Dubai’s Luigi Vesperso – that saw Townhouse visitors learn how to make pasta like the pros, dinner and drinks were served (once again, courtesy of Galvin Dubai) before guests sat down to a lively discussion about the arts.

Panellists included British artist Sacha Jafri, Emirati filmmaker Ali Mustafa, and architect Tarik Zaharna. You can expect a video of the entire panel soon.
