From Cuirasses to Coaches: An Evening of Art, Honour, and Refreshment

On Friday, 28th March, we had the immense pleasure of sponsoring the drinks for a truly special evening: the official presentation of The Coronation Painting, From Cuirasses to Coaches  by local artist Daniel Crane, to the Officers of the Household Cavalry Mounted Regiment, celebrating the Coronation of Their Majesties King Charles III and Queen Consort Camilla.

Capturing the evening through her lens, was local photographer, Ali Crane, who shot some beautiful images of our Pin Gin bottles.

The evening offered more than a viewing of a remarkable piece of art. It was an immersive journey through the creation of a painting that captures history in motion – the Royal Procession on Coronation Day. From the first briefing and reconnaissance missions to early morning rehearsals and the unforgettable scenes of the day itself, Daniel Crane’s story was one of dedication, pressure, and perseverance. His ability to translate the magnitude of a 400-yard-long procession into one stunning visual narrative was nothing short of masterful.

As attendees took in the stories behind each brushstroke, we were honoured to ensure their glasses were full – offering drinks to complement the rich atmosphere of celebration, reflection, and camaraderie. Sharing in the pride and tradition of the Household Cavalry was a true privilege for our team.

Events like these remind us of the power of storytelling – whether through paint, pageantry, or the simple joy of raising a glass together. We're incredibly proud to have played a small part in such a meaningful occasion.
