There is something fantastic-al(?) about proper Mongolian yurts.

So, when we were approached to provide a fantasy picnic for a certain Hollywood director’s very intimate 50th birthday party we were delighted.

Blue is his favourite colour.  So, as well as a string of specially commissioned blue flags, we ran a 150 ft long blue entryway down through the garden to a blue yurt.

It all looked very, well, blue – and very Hollywood.

And how brilliant that, when they all flew in from LA, they walked down the carpet and took it in turns to stop and wave at the imaginary papparazzi…

Inside it was sumptuous, fabulous and totally decadent.  Full of cushions and drapes and games and old tables.  Nestled amongst a whole lot of his movie memorabilia in the middle of the Thames it couldn’t have been more appropriate.

Not least for one of the guests who, when they were shooting Charlie and The Chocolate Factory, had his trailer done up in entirely in red velvet.  ”This is perfect” said the host. “he’ll feel right at home here…”
