Welcome |
|
This week, I’m highlighting 4 world leading events that take place ANNUALLY in May. They include the Chelsea Flower Show as you’ve never seen it before, the opportunity to virtually attend the Hay Literary Festival, a close encounter with the Badminton Horse Trials and a look at the renowned Bath Festival.
I’ve add a day in the life of treasure filled Waddesdon Manor and to further lift your spirits, you can take some owner/head gardener led tours of some stunning privately-owned gardens which open only when they’re at their very best. Keep an ear open for the birdsong.

A Day In The Life Of Waddesdon |
|
As a young widower, Baron Ferdinand de Rothchild poured his passion into collecting, and created the Manor as a place to entertain and to show off his art treasures. His collection of French decorative arts, English and Dutch paintings can still be admired in the rooms at Waddesdon today. Make sure your clients do the same.
