We’ve chosen our favourite stands to make a bee-line for this week, from the tasty to the tantalising.
A multi award winning product that melts in the mouth, Inverawe Smokehouses, warrant holder to Her Majesty The Queen and a Rick Stein favourite, are passionate about slow smoking over oak logs. Their team of dedicated, highly skilled craftspeople produce a consistently outstanding smoked fish that along with sumptuous salads and sandwiches will be available on the stand at Badminton again this year.
Funky readers bring a fresh new quality and innovation to reading glasses and sun reading glasses. The styles are European with brands from France, Germany and Italy. Funky readers are also launching their own brand in two styles for the first time at Badminton.
This year’s official merchandise from Joules is the cutest yet! Definitely save some pennies for some souvenir shopping here but don’t panic, it’s not just for the smalls. We’ve got our eyes on the official waterproof jacket and can you ever have enough hoodies?!
Our absolute faves for all the pampered pooches out there, Charley Chau are back for the second year and will be judging our Gallery of Canine Companions that we will be snapping all week. Take your faithful friend along to their stand to see their gorgeous collection of luxury dog beds and accessories.
The EquiAmi training aid has been designed and developed to work in harmony with the horse and is used my many leading riders including Harry Meade and Jonty Evans. The unique patented design places the horse inside a self-centring loop and as it is not fixed, the horse is discouraged from leaning.
Who can forget the incredible XC round that Ben Hobday, Mulry’s Error’s and Willberry completed last year? Whilst we are all so sad that Ben & Mulry didn’t get the call up this year, a visit to the Willberry stand is a must to see all the tempting merchandise including hoodies, wristbands, mugs and a few surprises!
A one-stop shop to get you beach ready! Pampelonne’s range of colourful, stylish and affordable Mediterranean inspired swimwear, clothing and accessories for gents, ladies, boys and girls will have your summer wardrobe sorted in seconds. We love the new seahorse trunks and the pom pom kaftans are divine!
The Profiles Range offer a wide variety of quality, handmade products for the garden and home. Their range is perfect for gift ideas or for sprucing up your own home, and with over 60 products available in more than 500 designs, there really is something for everyone. And, for the equestrian enthusiastic, they also offer lots of innovative products for the yard made with ease of use in mind, making life with horses just that little bit easier!
For anyone in the midst of home renovations a pit stop at Jim Lawrence’s exquisite collection of lighting is a no brainer. Exhibiting for the first time at Badminton with their lighting, furniture, ironwork, curtain poles, and home furnishings, you’ll be hard pushed not to be tempted.
Timeless and much admired in many a country home, the kilim look is a firm favourite at GPHQ. Local company Nomad Ideas will be at Badminton with their collection of kilim handbags, rugs, travel bags, men’s and ladies’ kilim shoes as well as original and beautiful presents for spring and summer.
