Nick whacks a mallet and sinks a few
The way in is dramatic, moody and the lift up swift and smooth and then, when the final doors open, there is The View. Absolutely fantastic.
Pimm’s Cider Cup has taken over the space until 21st July as a pop up, to celebrate 165 years of Pimm’s and Croquet. A croquet field fitted out with Jaques of London mallets and hoops and trained stewards to take you through the rules.
They’ve teamed up with the great-grandson of the game’s inventor, Joe Jaques and launched the Pimm’s Cider Croquet Cup to help reinvigorate the game. And to help us appreciate the range of Pimm’s Cider Cup, Pimm’s No 1 Cup blended with British Summer Fruits, Mango & Passion Fruit, Strawberry & Cucumber and Plum & Red Apple.
If you’ve never seen the View from the Shard then this is the ideal time to get the clearest skies and to have some fun too.
You can turn up and wait a turn or confirm a time by purchasing a Pimm’s Cider Cup and Croquet ticket in advance £29.95 which includes a bottle of any of the variants at www.theviewfromtheshard.com
