Harmony Kingdom UK and the HK House of Peers took the reunions back to England with a one-day main event held on Saturday, April 30, 2016. An Optional Outing to Blenheim Palace the day before, and dining together for an English Breakfast followed the event on Sunday. You met up with friends, enjoyed some fun and food, and of course, took home exclusive pieces carved for the event by Peter Calvesbert. We hope you enjoyed all of this whilst raising money for charity. The hotel was well located to be a home base for enjoying many sights in the United Kingdom.
Special items were available for Attending and/or Non-Attending Collectors to order in advance. These included event pieces, the optional tour, a Swap 'n Sell table, and raffle tickets. These items are no longer available.
Whoo's Coming?
|
Meet Whoo's Coming?, the HK CELEBRATIONS event box figurine. Pete has carved a beautiful owl that he often sees or hears in the field by his home. It is sitting on a tree stump waiting to find out who's coming to England. Pete's signature mouse is seen on the back of the stump, that Pete hopes does not become food for the owl.
Everyone who registered for the HK CELEBRATIONS UK event (whether you attend or not) received this Version 1 of Whoo's Coming? in their registration package.
Being the imaginative person he is and wanting to involve collectors in his art, Peter has come up with a brilliant opportunity. He had promised that all the Early Bird registrants (all 110) will have their initials inscribed on Version 2 - Whoo's Coming? II, and will have the opportunity to purchase this figurine for $60. This will make the event piece even more exclusive and will mean everyone who registers will be forever etched in Harmony Kingdom! |

2015 is a monumental year both for Harmony Kingdom and Peter and Andrea Calvesbert. Harmony Kingdom was introduced to the collectible world at the International Collectible Exposition in April 1995. Pete and Andrea were married in September 1995. To commemorate their marriage, the Early Bird figurine, HK Celebration, is a 20th Anniversary piece in the Cake Topper series. The original Cake Topper was a gift to the guests at Pete and Andrea's wedding. Later in 1996, this same piece was released as The Big Day and was included in the Royal Watch Charter Year membership kit.

In HK Celebration we find their "Big Day" 20 years later. This gift was for Collectors who registered and paid for the HK CELEBRATIONS reunion by the Early Bird deadline, October 31, 2015. Pete has finally "aged" the couple, showing the results of the past 20 years: less hair, a few extra pounds, chest and stomach rather filled out, and the "wishful thinking" version of Andrea's breasts.
The Hilton Warwick Hotel is located 3.5 kilometers (2.2 miles) from Warwick Castle and 10.8 kilometers (6.7 miles) from Shakespeare's Birthplace in Stratford-upon-Avon at Junction 15 on the M40. The hotel is easily accessible from Birmingham Airport (32 kilometers by train or car). There are also mainline train stations in both Warwick and Stratford-upon-Avon for those wanting to travel around the country without a car. You can reach 70% of England within a 2–hour drive.
