Brasserie of Light to host Greek mythology-themed House of Olympus night beneath Selfridges’ crystal Pegasus
Brasserie of Light, the restaurant housed within Selfridges on London’s Oxford Street, will host a Greek-themed evening called the House of Olympus on Saturday 22nd August 2026, offering a three-course dinner, cocktails and live entertainment beneath the venue’s crystal Pegasus sculpture. The event, which begins at 7pm, marks the culmination of the restaurant’s Dreams of Olympus summer menu and includes a prize draw for a three-night trip to Mykonos.
Tickets are priced at £45 per person and include a welcome cocktail alongside the three-course meal. The menu draws on Greek cooking, with dishes including Tuna Lakerda, traditional Loukaniko Sausage and Grilled Chicken Tzatziki. Two dessert options are available: Pagoto Greek Yoghurt served with crispy kataifi, pistachio, rose and wild Greek honey, or Greek Custard Pie.
Entertainment across the evening will be provided by a DJ, a live vocalist and roaming performers, who will continue throughout the night rather than appearing as a single scheduled set. The restaurant’s interior, which sits beneath Damien Hirst’s Pegasus sculpture, forms the backdrop for the event.
Accompanying the food is the Dreams of Olympus cocktail list, a collection of drinks named after figures and episodes from Greek mythology. These include The Gift of Athena, the Spartini and A Thousand Ships, the last of which references the story of Helen of Troy.
The Mykonos competition is run in partnership with Quintessentially Travel. Guests who order one of the Dreams of Olympus cocktails and sign up to both the Brasserie of Light and Quintessentially Travel newsletters are eligible to enter the draw for the three-night stay on the island.
The one-night event forms part of a wider seasonal offering at the restaurant. The Olympus summer specials are available at Brasserie of Light for a limited period running from Tuesday 7th July until 1st September 2026, meaning diners who cannot attend the 22nd August evening can still order the themed dishes and cocktails during the intervening weeks.
Brasserie of Light opened within Selfridges London and has become associated with the Hirst sculpture that hangs above its dining room, a winged horse covered in more than 8,000 pieces of crystal. The restaurant regularly stages themed menus and events tied to particular seasons, with the Greek programme occupying the summer slot for 2026.
