Step back in time experience candlelights, corsets Artistic Flair…
Rococo Reverie returns as Minerva’s annual flagship celebration. An evening of art, indulgence and spirited conversation set within a private estate just beyond London. As twilight settles over manicured gardens and gilded rooms glow by candlelight, guests are invited to wander through a series of salons: some lively, some intimate, each alive with music, sketch artists, whispered conversations and the quiet thrill of being somewhere different. Transport yourself from the bustle of London, to the fresh-aired indulgent English countryside (with a side of Versailles-inspired decadence). Champagne is poured, silk and velvet brush past one another and time loosens its grip as the evening unfolds.
