THE LOT INFO
The Pebbles Project is proud to present a unique collection of experiences for any sport-loving Anglophile – horse-racing, football and golf together in one package, along with some spectacular accommodation and a once-in-a-lifetime culinary experience.
The first experience will be an overnight stay for 2 people at Fullers Cottage on England’s first golf and wine estate, Mannings Heath, complete with a round of golf on the stunning Waterfall golf course set in an area of outstanding natural beauty, a wine tasting and sabrage. Following the stay at Mannings Heath, guests will travel 4 miles to the Grade 2 listed Leonardslee Mansion house and spend one night in the luxurious, quintessentially English accommodation.

In the morning after breakfast, guests will accompany Chef Jean Delport and the team on their daily forage walk in the gardens to see how much of the food served in the restaurant is foraged directly from the estate.
Part two of the lot is for two guests hosted in the Duchess’s Stand at Epsom Racecourse on 4th June 2022 with the Moet & Chandon Dining Experience, complete with a four course lunch paired with champagne, where guests will enjoy a panoramic view of the racecourse and the winners’ enclosure.
