At the heart of our installation was a freestanding living and faux wall, designed to create a natural focal point within the racecourse environment. Positioned to draw footfall and encourage engagement, the wall quickly became a popular backdrop for racegoers, with many stopping to take photographs and spend time in the space. Complementing the installation, we also provided two planters featuring round bay trees and layered green foliage, adding structure, height and a refined finish.
Alongside the installation, we were proud to sponsor the 6.50pm race: The Natural Green Creative Spaces Mares' Open Hunters’ Steeple Chase (Class 4). As part of the race proceedings, Jane Warmington judged the Best Turned Out Horse, selecting Hollywood Harmon, ridden by Miss Pippa Brown. It’s always a pleasure to recognise the care and attention that goes into presentation, which aligns closely with our own focus on detail and quality.
The race itself saw Loud and Proud, ridden by Mr Huw Edwards, take the win. Our CEO, Charlie Cox, presented the prize to owner Mr S A Mace and trainer Miss Laura Richardson, marking the moment with an engraved glass and a celebratory bottle of champagne.
Beyond the racing, what stood out most was the atmosphere. The combination of great weather, a strong turnout and thoughtfully designed spaces created a memorable experience for guests. Our installation didn’t just enhance the setting visually; it helped shape how people moved through and interacted with the space.
Events like this are a reminder that well-placed, well-designed natural elements can do more than decorate. They create moments, elevate perception, and add real value to the overall experience.
