Transforming an at-home party into a fully immersive experience is the kind of dream event we live to create. With creative freedom, vast expanses of land to explore, a hedge maze to wander through, and a stately home as our canvas, this gathering was destined to be anything but ordinary. Layered with themes and bursting with originality, this wasn’t just a party - it was an enchanted experience. The grounds themselves held a certain magic, waiting to be unleashed, and we were ready to set it free in spectacular fashion.

We set out to create an unforgettable housewarming that would break all the rules - a house and garden party turned festival, alive with music, food, games, and immersive creativity.

The central theme woven through every aspect of this housewarming was pure merriment and togetherness. Our aim was to cultivate a vibrant atmosphere, a constant hum of excitement where there was always something to uncover. Characters would unexpectedly appear, keeping guests enchanted, while entertainment flowed freely, and spontaneous activities unfolded throughout the day. This festival was designed to captivate all in attendance, offering a delightful array of distractions and surprises to satisfy every whim and desire, ensuring that no guest could resist the joy and magic of the celebration.

Our client’s deep love for meadow flowers blossomed into the heart of the design, elevating the entire experience into something truly magical. We crafted bespoke food stations on the front lawns that appeared as if they had naturally sprung from the earth itself, like mounds covered in lush clusters of wildflowers. Drawing inspiration from the whimsical realms of Hobbiton, Alice in Wonderland, and cabinets of curiosities, these installations were a celebration of the curious, decorative, and the enchanting. The "Meadows on the Mounds" were surrounded by a symphony of colour and texture: vintage sofas, curated objects, and inviting props created an idyllic scene for guests to explore and relax.

As if the earth had opened up to reveal her treasures, the atmosphere was one of natural wonder. Alice herself, accompanied by an eclectic cast of curious characters, entertained guests with captivating performances that transformed bodies into living canvases of art. Meanwhile, the botanical bar delighted with imaginative cocktails, and a big band played lively tunes from within a grand, oversized birdcage. Guests revelled in making terrariums, floral crowns, and splashing in the pool with a DJ, all part of an unforgettable, whimsical celebration of nature’s beauty and creative indulgence.

This extraordinary house and garden party unfolded across a series of enchanting zones, each offering something new and exciting for guests to discover. Inside the stately home, we transformed rooms into a private members' club-style cocktail bar inspired by Sherlock Holmes, complete with escape rooms and an arcade. Outside, the sprawling pasture fields came alive with the joyful energy of a full funfair and circus, complete with food trucks and lively group activities that kept the spirit of merriment high throughout the afternoon.

For accommodation, glamping was elevated to new heights with The Events Mill’s bespoke concierge service. Each tent offered warm, luxurious interiors, while our “glamp-service” - a unique take on room service - ensured guests' every need was met, from special requests to late-night indulgences.

This event will be remembered as the ultimate housewarming celebration, where magic, adventure, and indulgence combined to create a truly extraordinary and unforgettable experience.
