Join us for a very special evening at Dorney Court, the beautiful country estate in Berkshire to enjoy delicious food designed by Waitrose innovation chefs and tailor-made cocktails from our suppliers.
The Garden Party is also packed with traditional garden games, fundraising opportunities and exciting entertainment and hosted by our entire commercial and senior team who are excited to join you on the night.
