Remember remember, the 5th of November, gunpowder, treason and plot...

Join us at Fitzherbert Community Hub and sample some specially selected wines with our host for the evening, Jonathan Ray. Wine writer, author and bon viveur, Johnny will give us a bonfire night like no other, with tales from his travels and tasting experiences.

It's going to be an unforgettable night!
