More than 150 guests met in summer sunshine at One Marylebone in London for The Oysters Summer Party last week.

Now in its fourth consecutive year, the event saw representatives from 20 participating destinations put on a spectacular range of experiences, including a Kylie impersonator from Australia, Santa Claus from Finland and a scantily clad Swedish male model. Guests could sample a range of dishes from all over the world, from delicious Irish oysters to savouries from Cyprus, Italian limoncello to dates from Oman, Maltese kannoli and sushi from Japan.

Cocktail enthusiasts learned to create their own concoction with a Canadian mixologist, while beer lovers were treated to excellent Flemish and Belgian brews, with a stunning German artistic cocktail show a highlight of the evening.

Activities include Icelandic hand massage at the Blue Lagoon Spa, while Dubai’s henna tattooist and South Africa’s face painters proved popular.

The event was organised by Beyond Certainty with catering from The London Kitchen, with support from headline sponsors The Meetings Show UK, and bronze sponsor Kerzner.com.

Oysters’ spokesperson Marie Anne Barthet Brown commented: “We knew that this year we would have our work cut out following the success of previous events. But the response from guests has been amazing. Our grateful thanks go to all who contributed to making our 4th Annual Summer Party such a wonderful occasion. We’re all looking forward to next year’s event.”
