We whisked away some of our most-loved influencers from the Who What Wear UK community to Beaverbrook hotel in the stunning Surrey countryside for two days of summer soirées, spa sessions and style. From a picnic in the orchard to cocktails by the pool, we celebrated all things fashion and beauty with some of the brands our editors and audience treasure the most. Scroll here to see everything we got up to!
Day one of Who What Wear’s Festive House, where we took some of our most-loved influencers from our community to the Cotswolds for 48 hours of festive fun. We checked into Kin House in Wiltshire, where editors and guests were welcomed with gift packages on their beds and in their wardrobes—‘tis the season, after all!
11A.M.
FESTIVE
Guests arrived at The Village in golf buggies which took them through the hotel’s spectacular grounds. The setting is exactly as you’d expect from a quintessential English countryside location—all meandering green hills and magical forests. Simply beautiful.

We love Beauty Pie at Who What Wear, and we also love a glowy “no-makeup-makeup” look. So when the brand offered to host our Glow-Up Studio, with two makeup artists on-hand to get everyone ready for the evening event, we were thrilled. Let’s just say the bookings came in thick and fast, and everyone looked their best, glowy selves.
4 p.m: The Beauty Pie Glow-Up Studio
“Picture this: it’s 22ºC and the sun is beginning to set over the magnificent Beaverbrook hotel. You’ve got that golden-hour sunlight on your skin, you’re wearing a cute dress from the new Free-Est collection and you’re sipping cocktails by the pool. That was the Free People cocktail party in a nutshell.”
The morning after the night before called for a big breakfast and some much-needed self-care. Guests enjoyed free time for a long, lazy bath in their room, a spot of tennis or swimming or an appointment at the spa.
9 a.m: Breakfast & Morning Wellness
The first activity on the itinerary, and it was a good one. Guests were invited to the Who What Wear Gifting Suite, where some of our favourite brands showcased their latest collections, products and treatments.

Picture this: it’s 22ºC and the sun is beginning to set over the magnificent Beaverbrook hotel. You’ve got that golden-hour sunlight on your skin, you’re wearing a cute dress from the new Free-Est collection and you’re sipping cocktails by the pool chatting to friends whilst disco plays in the background. That was the Free People cocktail party in a nutshell. Guests gossiped around the pool whilst sipping the FP frozen margaritas, we took selfies (obviously) and got ourselves in the party spirit.
6 p.m: The Free People Cocktail Party
DAY 2
The only way to end a day like this is with a big dinner. With the weather being so kind to us, we had to eat outside on the terrace so we could watch the sunset, and the main topic of conversation? The tablescape. Think a green colour palette, silver candelabras, grape and pear centrepieces and floral arrangements—so chic!

I think we saved the best activity on the itinerary until last. Guests gathered in the orchard for the Beauty Pie picnic: a lunch consisting of finger-food, cocktails and cupcakes that celebrated the brand’s SPF Skin Tint range. There were branded brownies, a classical Bridgerton-inspired soundtrack and lots of floral frocks. What a way to welcome summer!
