Keith Prowse, the UK’s hospitality leader, treated its clients to a Champagne Tasting at the Brit Insurance Oval last night (Thursday 26th August), in partnership with Veuve Clicquot.

London-based clients of Keith Prowse, the Brit Insurance Oval and Lime Venue Portfolio, along with selected media figures, enjoyed four luxury champagnes and a tour of one of the world’s most iconic cricket grounds. Guests were guided through their tasting of a Veuve Clicquot Brut Yellow Label, Rose, Vintage 2002 and Vintage 2004 Rose by Cory Soutar and Dan I’Anson of Moet Hennessy.

Clients took the opportunity to familiarise themselves with the Ashes Suite, which will host Keith Prowse’s The Experience Club package for England’s upcoming One Day International against Pakistan on 17th September.

Behind the scenes tours took in the Roof Terrace and commentary boxes in the OCS Stand, as well as the home and away dressing rooms and historic Long Room in the confines of the Members’ Pavilion.

Andrew Hodgkins, Keith Prowse’s acting managing director said: “As specialists in entertaining, nothing gives us more pleasure than spending time with our clients. The Brit Insurance Oval provided a truly majestic backdrop to the evening, which was thoroughly enjoyed by all.”

Ceri Richardson, head of sales at the Brit Insurance Oval commented: “We would like to extend a big thank you to all the guests at the Champagne Tasting, some of whom were experiencing the Brit Insurance Oval for the first time. We trust Keith Prowse, our official hospitality provider, to create the perfect atmosphere at the ground on or off match day.”

Louise Amphlett, head of Lime Venue Portfolio said: “The Brit Insurance Oval is leading the way for versatility, from the ultra-modern facilities of its OCS Stand to the rich sporting heritage of the Pavilion. The venue is one of the jewels in our crown and last night was a demonstration of what the Brit Insurance Oval can offer to meetings and events organisers.”
