What's On?

Workshops

Our Workshops last year were a huge success and our team, suppliers and the WSET will be back again this year with new wines to talk about. There will be a continuous timetable of 20 minute Workshops taking place during each session - click here to download a PDF timetable. Attending a Workshop is free, and you will be able to sign up upon entry to the Fair. Tickets will be distributed on a first come first served basis and will be limited to one per person, so that we can give as many of you as possible the opportunity to attend

Wine Walks

Take a Wine Walk with Joe Wadsack. Joe's knowledge and passion for everything to do with wine is contagious - be prepared to be entertained! More information will be supplied in your Show Guide upon arrival at the Fair.

Food

To help you make the most of your tasting opportunity at the Fair, there is a café which will be open for snacks and hot and cold drinks during each session. Please taste responsibly and stop to have something to eat.
