Updates to Membership
A Letter from The Modernists Team
Dear Community,
The past year has been a marvellous rush of ideas, late-night conversations, unexpected friendships and beautifully orchestrated evenings. The Modernists has become something far more interesting than a collection of events. It is now a culture in its own right.
As we look towards 2026, our focus is on what makes this community exceptional. Brilliant people. Inspiring spaces. A shared appetite for the experiences that elevate everyday life. To support this, we are refining our membership structure and opening the door to an even richer calendar of encounters.
A New Season and a Clearer Structure
This season we are retiring the Socialite tier as the public entry point and centring our offering around a single signature membership.
The Modernists Key
Previously known as The Connoisseur. The essence remains the same, with the welcome addition of four passes each month to use entirely as you wish. Club visits, Modernists hosted gatherings, talks, dinners, and salons. It is your passport to the world we are building together.
For those who are on the socialite tier, you will be prompted to switch to the membership tier when you next log in. For everyone else, nothing will change. The intention is simple. Greater value. Less complexity.
The intention is simple. Greater value. Less complexity. Membership that feels elegant and effortless yet full of possibility.
A Glimpse of 2026
We have been planning quietly, and now we can share what is coming:
1. A country events series set across historic estates with long tables and even longer conversations.
2. New partners and experiences that remind you that extraordinary places still exist if you know where to look.
3. Your UX is getting a serious uplift. Turns out this AI malarkey is quite good.
4. Paris and New York are joining our world in 2026.
5. Automotive, whisky, wine, cigars, and sporting days are all to come for male members.
6. Pilates, wellness, inspiring dinners, exclusive fashion access and art events are coming for female members.
6. A special International Women's Day is in the works for March.
Lastly. A Genuine Thank You
Thank you for showing up in every sense. For the conversations that ran late, the introductions that became collaborations and the ideas that appeared suddenly over a glass of something excellent. We can’t thank you enough for your support. This is the continuation of a story you helped bring into being. A story built on culture, curiosity, connection and a touch of well-placed mischief.
Here is to the year ahead, it’s going to be a big one.
With admiration and a raised glass,
Melissa, Connor and The Modernists Team
