Lord’s Cricket
You remembered your
tie at the last minute and
got into the Pavilion,
but were then caught
smoking pot in
the rose garden.
Yachting with
the Bamfords
You’re one of the
lucky 12 guests of
Lord and Lady
Bamford on
Virginian for a
week, cruising
around Sardinia.
Dinner at
Barnbougle Castle
Lord Dalmeny invites you to his
Rosebery Estate – site of Scotland’s
hottest new dinner venue – perched
on the shores of the Firth of Forth.
Weekend
with the Astors
William and Annabel ask
you to Ginge Manor, their
idyllic Oxfordshire
country house. The
garden looks lovely
and Lohralee and Will
are there, too, in their
barn. Bonus.
WOMAD
All of glam Wiltshire are
at Charlton Park, and...
is that Prince Harry?
The hottest afterparty
is in the garden, thrown
by Serena and Peregrine
Hood. The estate is
home to his mother,
the Countess of Suffolk
- but you knew that.
(^20) Glastonbury
You gave Camp Kerala
a miss, made it into
Babington House and
helicoptered in and
out of the festival.
The Beckhams are
there, and so is Chris
Martin – up at 4.30am
for his workout.
Weekend at West Wratting
Henry & Tatjana D'Abo invite you for
the weekend, where you enjoy cocktails
on the lawn mixed by their gorgeous
children, Anouska, Celina and Jasper.
This is English country nirvana.
Cartier
Queen’s Cup
Not only have you
been invited to Laurent
Feniou’s marquee
lunch, but you’re also
seated next to Sabine
Getty, whom you so
impress, she invites
you to Wormsley.
Animal Ball
Beloved of Royals and
socialites, the Animal Ball
is back: cue feathers,
frou-frou and Philip Treacy.
You pledge £1million to
save endangered butterflies
and Prince Charles invites
you to Balmoral.
Ludgrove Sports Day
Battle it out, barefoot and
in a Diane von Furstenberg dress,
on the sports pitches for first place
in the Mothers’ Race.
The Royal
Academy
Summer Party
Oh no! You’re wearing
the same dress as
Grayson Perry. You’re
catapulted back to
the start.
Weekend at Haddon Hall
Lord and Lady Edward Manners invite
you to stay: expect every meal in a
different location. Banqueting Hall
black-tie dinner, courtyard supper,
riverside picnics... Do not pack light.
Nevill Holt Opera
It’s important to be at this fast-
growing fixture of the season.
Aim for an invitation to a picnic
hosted by owner David Ross.

Fourth of June
To Eton: for the best vantage
point at the boat procession, in lieu
of a marquee with a butler (vulgar)
you lay a rug on the ground (chic).
21
Garden Museum
Literary Festival
Port Eliot is passé: you’ve
shrewdly booked tickets to the
year’s smartest green-fingered
festival at Houghton Hall, where
you listen to Sam McKnight.
Invitation to
Balmoral
It’s the golden ticket of
the season – you’ve
made it to the hallowed
halls of the Queen’s
favourite residence for
the Braemar Gathering.
You are officially on
the social map.

Glorious
Goodwood
You were asked to
lunch in the Duke of
Richmond’s box.
Lucky you!
32
Weekend with
the Rothermeres
at Ferne
Viscount and
Viscountess Rothermere
have asked you to stay for
the weekend. Bring your
fashion A-game –
she’s usually in Valentino.

Notting Hill
Carnival
Whoops, you K-hole
at the carnival.
