All tickets have now been sold for the Great Feast of the Pie at the Museum of Miniature Found Objects on New Year's Day. Those members of the public without tickets will still be able to observe the traditional Carrolling of the Pie in the Great Court at the museum. This much-loved practice goes back to 1839, when the Board of Trustees generously provided an evening of feasting and games for the orphans from the nearby Home for Waifs and Strays, and as the great pie was carried into the museum, the children sang its welcome. By tradition this event is held each year on New Year's Day, as it was on that very first occasion. Today, 174 years later, the Home for Waifs and Strays now being closed, money raised from the ticket sales is donated to children's charities.

On show in the Wild West Suite at the Museum of Miniature Found Objects is this inaugural display of items on display from the Museum of Sporting Impedimenta, Honolulu. In a radical break from curating tradition, Hedwig Peeve (Apprentice Curator, MMFO) and Bertie Vreiss (Curator, MSI, Honolulu) have used the Smythe-Pattinson cataloguing system. This revolutionary system organises collections around smell, using the table of scents drawn up by Dr Smythe-Pattinson in 1974. Peeve and Vreiss worked entirely with objects giving off the scent of the teeming labyrinth of Neapolitan back streets to create this striking installation.
