About the Service

The Little Book of Wonders is available to eligible clients of Barclays. Members are permitted to select up to five experiences from Barclays in partnership with a carefully selected group of luxury brands, on a fully complimentary basis. Invitations are at the sole discretion of Little Book of Wonders and we reserve the right to make different experiences available to different members. Not all events are available to all members. Event bookings are only available through the Site. Once you have reached your maximum of five events throughout any twelve month period you will find that next time you try to book an event a message will come up advising you to “Contact your Wealth Manager, Private Banker or Relationship Manager”.

If you cancel your attendance at an event within 24 hours before the event is due to start, then this will still count as part of your annual allocation of events.

The content of this Site has been written by a variety of independent authors who provide the events to which you may be invited. The contents reflect the view of individual authors and brands, not those of Barclays.
