REMEMBERING 2017 & 2018!

The last two BritFests have seen two extremes, the first one extremely hot and muggy!, the second included a late afternoon storm and a rain deluge! bringing back memories of rainy Glastonbury Music Festivals.

However, each year, over 1,500 people braved the heat and the rain and came to enjoy polo, croquet, live music, and enjoy English beer and food.

A picture tells a thousand words; here are some images from our last two years, Polo – USA v’s UK Vendors – English treats and Live Music – Shag the Band and Beatlemania Again. Classic Cars – over 40 MG’s and Triumphs got the Classic Car element up and running - Croquet and great craft and food vendors selling their wares.
