The Leasing Foundation has announced that its flagship Summer Party will take place on Thursday 18 June 2026 at the spectacular Fortnum’s Bar & Restaurant at The Royal Exchange.
Held in partnership with the Foundation’s charity partner Coach Core Foundation, the event has become one of the most popular evenings in the asset finance calendar, bringing together professionals from across the industry for a night of celebration, networking and fundraising.
Like last year’s event, the Summer Party will offer something different from the typical industry gathering. Set within the historic Royal Exchange in the heart of the City of London, the evening promises a beautiful setting, excellent food and wine and a relaxed atmosphere.
Funds raised from the event will support Coach Core Foundation, a charity that uses the power of sport and apprenticeships to help young people facing barriers, discrimination and limited opportunities build meaningful careers and brighter futures.
Mel Chell, director of the Leasing Foundation Giving Channel, said: “Last year’s party sold so we are delighted to bring the event back for 2026. It’s a wonderful opportunity for the industry to celebrate success, reward high performers and spend time together in one of London’s most beautiful venues – all while supporting an incredible charity. Every ticket sold helps Coach Core Foundation continue its important work with young people across the UK.”
The evening will begin at 7pm on Thursday 18 June, with guests enjoying Fortnum’s renowned hospitality, entertainment and the chance to connect with peers from across the asset finance community.
Tickets are priced at £250 plus VAT and include food, wine and entertainment. As the event sold out last year, early booking is recommended.
Tickets can be reserved by contacting hello@leasingfoundation.org.
