Fete Champetre at Ashcombe House: A Whimsical Country Gathering in 1930s Wiltshire This enchanting collection of photographs captures the essence of the Fete Champetre, a delightful country party held at the elegant Ashcombe House in Wiltshire during the summer of 1937. The estate, then the home of renowned photographer Cecil Beaton and his partner, the Hon. Peter Thostrup, played host to an eclectic group of guests, including the Hon. Michael Duff and the Hon. Assheton Smith, as well as a number of nymphs and shepherds, who added to the festive atmosphere. The Fete Champetre was a tradition that celebrated the beauty of the countryside and the joy of simple pleasures. Guests donned elaborate costumes designed by Cecil Beaton himself, adding to the whimsical and theatrical nature of the event. The interiors of Ashcombe House were transformed, with garlands of flowers and greenery adorning the walls and tables laden with sumptuous feasts. The photographs reveal a day filled with laughter, merriment, and the spirit of celebration. Guests danced and reveled in the sunshine, while others took part in games and activities, all set against the picturesque backdrop of the Ashcombe estate. The Fete Champetre at Ashcombe House was a true testament to the charm and elegance of country living in the 1930s, and these photographs offer a fascinating glimpse into a bygone era.
