Burberry Relocates to The Newt for a Quintessential British Summer Experience
Time for a summer sojourn you won't forget, Burberry's country team-up with The Newt in Somerset serves up fashion flair, classic checks, and sky-high thrills. Burberry sneakily charmed their way into Somerset's treasured estate, The Newt, with a fancy Chelsea Flower Show supper – just a taste of what's to come for a summer-long love affair of craft and cool countryside style.
From June onward, the estate's 2,000 lush acres transform into a personal playground. Hop around on golf carts slathered in a one-of-a-kind Burberry check – not quite Burberry's usual beige but rather a dash of The Newt's leafy green. Take a swing at the croquet lawns, neatly decorated with the same grid as the brand's iconic pattern.
Ground-dwelling no longer meets your expectations? Opt for a ride in the Burberry-marked hot air balloon – a cheeky nod to Burberry's past dressing aviators like Air Commodore Edward Maitland.
When your feet are firmly on the ground again, the badminton court gets a Burberry makeover – from nets to racquets. Stroll around and spot rural romance filtered through Burberry's contemporary lens, with installations scattered among the paths.
Packing isn't mandatory: an on-site boutique stocks Burberry's Summer 2025 lineup, so you can glam up in swimwear, light outerwear, and fashionable headgear designed to handle any British weather.
It's all showcased against The Newt's daily rhythm – garden-to-table lunches, spa me-time, and casual or secluded lodging around Hadspen House. In a nutshell, it's the chicest summer retreat, just go easy on the green – The Newt's color, not the money!
