Also included is a 50 minute spa treatment each to enjoy at Oasis Spa.
Top Stylists Marietta Doran and Emily O’Donnell will be judging all of the style over the course of the weekend, and categories will include the traditional Best Dressed Lady, Best Dressed Gent, but there’ll also be some more inclusive categories like ‘Most Dapper Dog’ and ‘Best Headwear’ so even if you don’t go for the full rig-out, you can still join in the fun!
