Champagne and Antiques Evening at Wheathills

Champagne and Antiques Evening at WheathillsOver 50 guests took part in a wonderfully relaxed fund raising evening for Ecclesbourne School, sampling a fascinating array of quality Champagnes, informative talks and an auction of Antiques with all proceeds going to the school.

The evening, which was hosted by Country House Heritage Events at Wheathills, was the perfect setting allowing guests to wander through the elegant showrooms and see first hand the ongoing restoration of a Georgian country house.

Guests arrived to the welcoming sound of the Ecclesbourne School Band playing a diversity of music from modern jazz to classical before settling down to hear the opening address from Mr Philip Hall, Deputy Head for Ecclebourne School. Nigel Heldreich the owner of Wheathills continued the evening with a talk on the restoration of Wheathills before Mr Athias of Columbier Wines began his fascinating introduction to Champagne. By contrast our celebrity auctioneer, Charles Hanson from Wintertons, offered a more sobering talk on the history of tea drinking.

The evening got into full swing with a wonderful buffet and Champagne tasting with over 10 Champagnes to choose from before the competitive part of the evening started. First, the Antiques Quiz covered questions from earlier talks - the main prize being four Antique Study Days at Wheathills before commencing the much awaited Auction of some 15 lots - including a pair of 18th Century engravings and brass sculpture. All items were strongly contested before the hammer fell for the last time clocking up around £800 for school funds.
