On Thursday 13 July, AB Hotels welcomed guests to an exclusive Summer Garden Party at Sopwell House Hotel & Spa in St Albans. Around 200 guests visited the stunning gardens at Sopwell House to enjoy the lavish food and fun.
Sopwell House showcased the talents of their culinary team with a selection of hot and cold dishes. Food offerings ranged from traditional favourites such as sausage & mash and chicken curry, to summery plates such as pineapple prawns and pesto orzo with asparagus. Mini desserts included cupcakes, lemon posset, Eton mess and lemon meringue pie; accompanied by refreshments such as Pimms, Alcoholic Peach Iced Tea, Prosecco, and Homemade Lemonade.
There was plenty of entertainment throughout the evening and guests could enjoy the Segway Safari, watch the birds of prey, try out the archery or enjoy laser clay pigeon shooting. A wide range of more chilled entertainment was also on offer including relaxing in the yurts, enjoying the live music, and being pampered by ESPA and Clarins.
Guests also had the opportunity to enter an exclusive raffle with luxury prizes on offer including a stay in a property of the Small Luxury Hotel Group and a jeroboam of Taittinger Champagne. Take home goodie bags boasted treats such as Wilkin & Sons jam, a slice of Sopwell House’s signature Battenberg, and miniature Clarins products.
Sopwell House is a stunning Georgian manor house located in the city of St. Albans within the Hertfordshire countryside. Located only 20 minutes from London St. Pancras, the hotel is the idyllic getaway just outside of the hustle and bustle of the capital. The hotel is the perfect place to dine boasting two restaurants, an elegant cocktail lounge, and conservatory bar, all of which look out on 12-acres of beautiful gardens.
