Wine Tasting

Take part in these wine tasting sessions. An excellent opportunity and excuse (if you really need one!) to “try before you buy”. Come along and taste wines from all over the world and learn how to recognise a good wine to become a wine connoisseur – learn the skills so that you can impress your family and friends. Aimed at both beginners and experts; The beginners session is an opportunity to learn the basic and all are welcome. The advanced session is specifically aimed at those of you with a basic wine knowledge and will marry discerning tastes with exquisite wines. On occasions these sessions attract a small surcharge.

Beer Tasting

Understand the gastronomic qualities of beer, how it's made, what affects the taste and which food it suits best. Men and women are both welcome, however, this session tends to be dominated by men! Why not use this as an opportunity to “leave the other half” shopping and come along and taste some of the Country’s finest real ales we have on offer. Naturally, you have the opportunity to try before you buy, and don’t worry about purchasing too much, we will help you carry it to your car. This session is free of charge and is open to any person over the age of 18 years.

Cognac Master Class

This area offers members of the public the chance to ask the questions that they have always been afraid to ask. Similar to the wine tasting, this section is broken down into two daily sessions. Beginner’s sessions are in the morning and an advanced session takes place in the afternoon. This area does attract a small surcharge and visitors are required to pre-register for the classes. This activity is amazingly informative and, if you have an interest in fine cognac, one definitely not to be missed.

Make 'n' Bake Area

Make “N” Bake area - This popular attraction offers children the chance to make Jam tarts from scratch and then they can take them home and force feed them to the grandparents (finger nails and all !!!!!). Suitable for children of all ages, they will feel like a real Chef’. Aprons and Chef's hats are all provided, and after they have washed their hands the fun begins. This activity provides a great photo opportunity as the children very often end up covered in flour. This activity is free of charge and normally run two or three times per day. Sessions last approximately 40 minutes. Please note: children must not be left unsupervised without agreement of the area supervisor.

Food Court

Feeling “tired and peckish” with all the hustle and bustle of shopping and the attractions at the show? Then come in, sit down and relax while you enjoy the vast array of wonderful food and drink we have to offer you, it is second to none. Once refreshed you will be ready to enjoy more shopping and of course the rest of the show.
