Olympic rowers and kayakers take culinary challenge for Sport Relief

For one night only, members of the British Olympic Rowing Team and British Olympic Kayak Team are seeking culinary glory in the kitchens of stunning Hedsor House, in a unique fundraiser for Sport Relief.

The evening, dubbed 'Hedsor's Kitchen', will see guests experience a treat as the athletes test their cooking skills and bring their competitive zeal to the kitchens in Buckinghamshire, just 30 minutes from London.

The black-tie event will pit the two teams against each other to cook a stunning three-course meal to over 100 guests in aid of Sport Relief.

The Olympic community is set to join this unique occasion and enjoy a superb auction with memorabilia from legends of their sport as well as unique training experiences with the Olympic hopefuls.

Among the rowers taking part will be rower of the women's eight, Natasha Page, and reigning Olympic lightweight men's double scull champion and Evening Standard columnist Mark Hunter.

The kayak team members include Jon Boyton, a two-time national champion and Andrew Daniels, who has won seven international medals for Great Britain.

The event takes place on Saturday February 18 and tickets are £50 per guest, which includes a champagne reception with canapés and a three-course meal with wine.
