We have just delivered over 2000 bottles of Sandringham Apple Juice to Buckingham Palace ahead of the Royal Garden Party season.
Over the course of each year, over 30,000 guests are invited to spend a relaxed summer afternoon in the beautiful gardens of Buckingham Palace or the Palace of Holyroodhouse.
In summer, the Sovereign traditionally hosts three Garden Parties at Buckingham Palace, and one at the Palace of Holyroodhouse in Scotland. Historically, Garden Parties took the place of presentation parties attended by debutantes, and have evolved into a way of recognising and rewarding public service.
Traditionally, a Garden Party is held for the Not Forgotten Association each year, a charity for war veterans, which is usually hosted by the Patron of the organisation, The Princess Royal.
In past years, Queen Elizabeth II had also given permission for additional Garden Parties to be held, for example to celebrate the 50th anniversary of The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award Scheme in 2006, and the Territorial Amy’s 100th Anniversary in 2008. In 2006 to honour The Queen’s 80th birthday the gardens were transformed into a scenes from children’s books for the Children’s Party at the Palace. In 2015 there were Garden Parties to celebrate the Centenary of the Women’s Institute and Blind Veterans UK.
It’s a privilege to be one of many suppliers for such prestigious and historical events.
