Stars Ride the Rails to the BRIT Awards
2 Mar
Summary
- Stars traveled to the BRIT Awards on a luxury vintage train.
- The journey included gourmet dining and fine champagne.
- Celebrities mingled during the four-hour trip to Manchester.
The BRIT Awards' relocation to Manchester necessitated creative travel arrangements for the Warner Music Group after-party. Instead of typical transport, attendees were treated to a luxurious journey aboard the British Pullman, a Belmond train reminiscent of a golden age of travel.
This vintage Art Deco train, comprising nine passenger carriages, departed from London's Euston station, carrying around 200 guests to Manchester Piccadilly. Passengers were seated in classic carriages, such as 'Gwen' dating back to 1932, enjoying plush armchairs and ornate table settings.
The journey commenced with champagne and a multi-course meal, featuring dishes like Scottish salmon and Yorkshire rhubarb panna cotta. Throughout the four-hour trip, guests mingled, with sightings of Love Island stars, Selling Sunset's Bre Tiesi, and musicians like Jaime Winstone and Nick Grimshaw.
Notable attendees included Cush Jumbo, Archie Madekwe, Lennon Gallagher, and Bluebell Halliwell. The return journey the following day offered Bloody Marys to combat hangovers, followed by a traditional Sunday roast, cementing the experience as a unique highlight.
