The Verrall Supper 2025

The Verrall Supper (and annual meeting of the Verrall Association of Entomologists) is an annual dinner organised by the Entomological Club, to enable entomologists at all stages to meet, talk about insects, exchange ideas and learn from each other.  

This year’s will be held on Wednesday 5 March 2025 at the Rembrandt Hotel, Cromwell Rd, London. Members gather from 5.30pm in the bar, and dinner is served at 7pm. Dinner includes wine or soft drinks if preferred.

A subscription to the Verrall Association and attendance at the supper is open to all entomologists, whatever their speciality and whether they are professional or amateur, retired or students. Many attendees also go to the annual Verrall Lecture, held before the supper at the Natural History Museum, given by a distinguished entomologist and organised by the Royal Entomological Society.

Subscriptions to The Verrall Association are for the year and entitle you to come to the Verrall Supper. The Verrall Supper is financed entirely from the annual subscriptions. 

The amount paid as subscription is optional, but the ‘suggested subscription’ is calculated to cover the costs of the evening. 

The Entomological Club recognises that not everyone can afford the recommended subscription, so people are encouraged to pay what they can afford. Traditionally some have chosen to pay more to allow this flexibility, and we invite everyone to consider this, and support the entomological community if they are able to. We also invite those who are unable to attend the Verrall Supper to pay a nominal amount (e.g. £10) to maintain their subscription – this money will also be used to subsidise others who cannot pay the full amount.

Please note that the venue of the Verrall Supper can only accommodate 180 people, so please do sign up early! Applications for subscriptions with tickets to the Supper will be closed on 12 February 2025. Unfortunately, we will not be able to accept any cancellations nor offer refunds after this date.

For all matters connected with the Verrall Association and the Supper, please contact Ed Turner.
