An Invitation to Pampas House

When your best friend Veronica wakes you up talking about an exclusive Instagram DM from a wealthy couple in Oxfordshire, you end up two hours down the road at Pampas House, a sprawling Georgian stately home in Boars Hill redesigned as a decadent, pleasure palace.

Behind wrought-iron gates marked with upside-down pineapples and driveways lined with towering pampas grass, the party is already in full swing. Drinks are flowing in the candlelit drawing room, the heated indoor pool is open, and there are very few rules, though the enigmatic girl watching from the shadows suggests there may be more to tonight's invitation than meets the eye.
