The distinctive structure had prime position on site overlooking the main arena, maximising the build’s double-tier aspect.

The Laurent-Perrier Orangery was a 1920’s epicurean vision – a stunning sanctuary from the dust and mud of the festival site. Housed by a 20 x 20 metre grand pavilion structure and overlooking the beautiful lakes, The Orangery consisted of a stunning themed set including beautiful flora & fauna displays, bespoke bar and theatrical lighting. A team of sharply dressed waiters and cast of six dedicated performers added to the whole narrative of the venue, telling festival goers fictional tales of romance, magic and mystery. ! Testament to the fact that The Orangery became one of the most popular and ‘must- see’ areas of the Festival, over 2,000 bottles of Champagne were sold over the weekend. “When they stumbled upon this little oasis in the wilderness, where they could sip champagne… they couldn't believe their eyes” Tatler MULBERRY LOVES CRAFT !
