Event Overview
A lavish weekend celebration for actors Tom Holland and Zendaya was staged at Beaverbrook, a private estate in the English countryside. The gathering, described in a recent feature, took place in a suite dubbed the “Elizabeth Taylor,” noted for its dusky-blue and pink décor, a canopied bed, and a historic roll-top bath formerly owned by dancer Rudolf Nureyev. The estate’s secluded Dower House, a five-bedroom residence with a deep-set pool, served as the primary accommodation for the couple’s family and guests.
Venue and Amenities
Beaverbrook’s co-owners Joel Cadbury—a descendant of the famed chocolate-making family—and Ollie Vigors of Longshot, together with business partners Tim Edwards and Ian Todd, oversee a property that includes the nation’s most expensive private golf club, clay-pigeon shooting, and interiors that blend “swagging and gilding” without feeling “staid and starchy.” The estate’s design encourages repeat visits, according to the description.
Culinary and Beverage Highlights
The Dining Room, highlighted for its culinary creativity, offers a menu featuring Japanese scallops, wagyu preparations, aged toro tartare with caviar, and grilled pork with red-peppercorn sauce served beneath a bonsai tree. Chef Wojciech Popow is credited with these dishes. The beverage program, led by legendary sommelier Giovanni Tallu—formerly of Mark Birley’s Annabel’s—pairs delicate sakes with silky Montrachet, providing guests with an “oenophilic education.”
