We know the world cup is taking place in Brazil this year and it’s a major event for football fans, but the summer of 2014 is going to be packed full of sporting events in the UK.
The first stage, or Grand Depart, of the The Tour de France, the world’s greatest cycle race, starts in Yorkshire on 5th July. On 7 July, Stage 3 will take riders from Cambridge to Essex with a finish on The Mall in London.
From 23rd July to 3rd August Glasgow will be welcoming athletes from all around the world who will be taking part in the 2014 Commonwealth Games.
Wimbledon, the world’s most famous tennis tournament, starts on 23rd June and for two weeks of glorious sunshine (we hope!!) and strawberries and cream, tennis fans will be watching Andy Murray to see if he can retain his title.
And there is a host of Society sporting events like rowing – the Henley Regatta, horse racing – Ascot and Polo which Princes William and Harry are known to enjoy.
Summer in the UK is also a great time for a large group holiday or family reunion and we have the houses to rent to accommodate lots of people. Some of them have their own tennis courts, so you can host your own tennis tournament and play like the best of them. And with lots of our properties situated in Gloucestershire they make the perfect base for a group outing to watch the Beaufort Polo Club’s Gloucestershire Festival of Polo, 21st and 22nd June. In 2013 the Beaufort Polo Club team included Prince Harry. World-class polo, teamed with fantastic entertainment and a tented shopping village, would make a sociable fun day for the whole group.
One of our properties even has its own polo court and offers learn to play polo packages for complete beginners/non riders. Let’s hope for a summer of sunshine with no rain – absolutely none- and lots of luck to all the UK competitors, especially Andy!
After you hire a party house from Party Manors, the next step is to fill up your weekend or short break with lots of fun and excitement. We’ve teamed up with a fantastic events organiser, Belissima Beauty who will organise all the events that you would like to arrange for your party weekend. Here’s what they say:
“Let us take the hassle of finding out what there is to do in the area and making all of those dreaded phone calls. All you have to do is follow these easy steps.
1) Select the Party Manors house you are staying in on our website and pick what you want to do.
2) Send us an email with a list of the activities you have chosen and let us do all the rest.
It’s as easy as that. We will book anything you want to do.”
They offer an amazing range of things to do, some of the most popular are: cocktail making lessons, paintballing, sumo wrestling/garden games hire, butler in the buff and clay pigeon shooting, they even offer duck herding! Head on over to their siteand have a look at what they do.
British Summertime begins at the end of this month (on Easter Sunday in fact) which means the days will be longer and hopefully getting warmer. After the Easter holiday thoughts may turn to Summer holidays; Party Manors has a fabulous selection of houses with swimming pools and if you don’t want to take your chances with the English weather some of them are indoors! All of our houses accommodate large groups of over ten people, so they are ideal for you to gather friends and/or family together for a short break in the UK. However one of these houses is already fully booked for this summer and other houses have limited availability, so have a look at the houses on the list below and if any of them are what you are looking for contact us to make your booking. Here’s to a glorious summer of sunshine!
