We also visit the more cerebral circuit, encompassing Glyndebourne with its unique combination of music and outdoor scenery; the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition; the Proms, and the breathtaking array of the finest horticulture at the Chelsea Flower Show. We experience the magical atmosphere of an Oxford Commen Ball, mixing youth, moonlight, music and champagne. The more sedate Buckingham Palace Garden Party is an essential inclusion as are hunting, shooting and fishing. Each event has a short appendix explaining how to get there are how to get in. .
