A Taste of Sculpture in the City

Saturday 19th September 2026 | 11am-1.30pm

Hosted by Stella Ioannou, Artistic Director of Sculpture in the City & LACUNA Founding Director, with special guest Sam Bompas, Co-Founder of Bompas & Parr.

Curated and Produced by LACUNA

Guests joined Sculpture in the City’s Artistic Director and LACUNA Founding Director, Stella Ioannou, for A Taste of Sculpture in the City where they explored the current works on display across the City of London.

Following the walking tour, guests were invited to Bar Fogo, Bishopsgate (formerly Fino at Fazenda), where they enjoyed complimentary canapés inspired by a selection of the sculptures in the exhibition. 

A Taste of Sculpture in the City welcomed special guest speaker, Sam Bompas, Co-Founder of Bompas & Parr – a creative studio that cultivates culture and is globally recognised as the leading experts in multisensory experience design, achieving international prominence in the realms of food and drink.

The tasting session invited guests to discuss what parallels can be drawn from the eye to the taste bud, whilst learning more about the history of the ingredients served. 

A Taste of Sculpture in the City returned as part of the London Sculpture Week programme for 2026 (19th – 27th September). Launched in 2022, London Sculpture Week brings together five leading London cultural initiatives — East Bank, Frieze Sculpture, Fourth Plinth, Sculpture in the City and The Line — for a citywide celebration of public art.

Each year in late September, the programme brings together tours, performances, talks and other events, exploring how sculpture connects people, place and public life — how it speaks, remembers, protests, plays and dreams.

Across the city, London Sculpture Week offers new ways to encounter sculpture – encouraging audiences to move through London, look more closely at their surroundings and experience familiar places differently.

The Sculpture in the City event programme is supported by Activations & Promotions Partner, Eastern City BID – the Business Improvement District for the Eastern City.
