At various intervals throughout the year we host special events, both in-store and occasionally at remote locations.
Events in recent years and special guests have included:
Champagne & Chocolates Evening - November 2007
Over 35 guests attended the evening which was a very relaxed and informal evening. The main purpose was allowing customers who are usually too busy to come to the store during normal opening hours, to come and catch up with the latest offerings from Bang & Olufsen. There was, of course, exquisite champagne along with plenty of hand made chocolates, and also, some very exclusive special promotions from ourselves. Every one who attended had an excellent evening.
Chocolate Making Event - April 2007
Over 45 guests attended the evening which was run by chocolate making experts Temper Temper. Everyone enjoyed creating their own chocolate masterpieces aided in creativity by a glass or two of champagne. And also, everyone was able to view and listen to the most recent additions to the Bang & Olufsen range. And best of all, all chocolate created was gift wrapped ready for them to take home and enjoy. It sure was a sweet event.
BeoVision 9 & BeoLab 9 Launch Day - March 2007
Many, many people rushed to Bang & Olufsen of Milton Keynes to be one of the first to experience the new BeoVision 9 and BeoLab 9 when they land in the showroom on 10th March. Many people brought along their favourite CDs and DVDs to allow them to see and hear what they have been missing. A very succesfull day, in which everyone who responded to the invitation throughly enjoyed.
Champagne Tasting Evening – October 2006
Thirty five guests enjoyed an entertaining and informative evening hosted by Nina Walters, renowned wine expert and representative of Hatch Mansfield, the UK agent for Taittinger. All were actively encouraged to sample some of the finest sparkling wines available, while also taking the opportunity to view some of the latest additions to the Bang & Olufsen range. The event has been so successful that we are planning for another event with Nina Walters early in 2007.
Casino Night – February 2006
Around 35 guests joined us for an evening of blackjack and roulette related fun. By the end of the evening our guests had helped us raise a total of £165.00 for BBC Children In Need. Thanks again to all those who came and offered their support on the night.
