For the first time, they are throwing a huge party to celebrate the award winning wines that are being produced in Kent.

We're partnering with Produced in Kent to bring you the very best food from Kent to pair with the wine. There's also a chance to pre book a Squerryes picnic. Or, if you'd prefer to wait and see what's on offer, there'll be a Paella sizzling away for you too.

This event is aimed at adults, but we do understand that you may want to bring your children. Tickets for under 12s are free, for 12-17 year olds it's £10. Please note that this year we will not be providing any entertainment for children, but you are welcome to bring them.

Dogs are welcome, please keep them on a lead.
