Clients and friends of Nicholas Harvey - the stylish, Christleton-based Aveda salon - enjoyed a showcase of temptations from the world of luxury travel. The evening was held in conjunction with the Chester-based independent luxury tour operator, Azure Collection.

Guests were met by Nick and his highly-trained stylists and over a glass or two of bubbly were introduced to the friendly, knowledgeable team at Azure Collection.

Guests took their seats at the tables of 1539 and were not only treated to panoramic views of Chester Racecourse but a little something from Aveda, courtesy of Nick and his team. Nicolas Harvey and Jayne O’Gorman, managing director of Azure Collection, welcomed everyone to what became a great night.

A presentation from Azure Collection’s very own Italian one-woman-show entertained and introduced some beautiful destinations such as the Caribbean, USA, Far East, India, Africa and of course – close to her heart - Italy. She also highlighted the benefits of booking with an ABTA and ATOL bonded operator for peace of mind as well as the first class service all guests could expect as standard from Azure Collection.

Throughout the evening hoteliers introduced everyone to amazing properties from around the world, including Pangkor Lautin Malaysia, Carlisle Bay in Antigua, Verdura in Sicily and Oberoi hotels in India. Soon everyone had itchy feet for sunnier climes and one lucky guest won the fabulous grand prize of a three-night stay at the Four Seasons Marrakech with flights. The guests had only to decide whether they wanted a spa haven, a golfing heaven, a luxury tour, a beach retreat or a city break.
