There will be a range of fantastic hands-on workshops hosted by top chefs from which you can choose, all promising to be great fun & full of cheese & wine delights. From Stilton to Cheesecake, and from Alsace to Croatia, there’s plenty for everyone to get their hands on and teeth into. We also have a FREE quiz from 7pm on Saturday and Sunday, so should you desire, you can test your new-found cheese & wine knowledge.

To join the experts and learn how to make some delicious goodies take a look at our timetable here for everything we have on offer and to book. And now for the best bit – you get to keep everything you make! Will it last long enough to make it home? Sometimes these things can be just too tempting!

This Spring the event will be even bigger, with more exhibitors, more variety of product and an amazing line-up at the Cookery Theatre.

The full programme, as always, is on our What’s on page (including ticket sales for the fantastic Tim Atkin and Patricia Michelson tutored tastings) and Exhibitors list in Exhibitors page.

We really hope you can make it, by yourself, with a friend or with family.

This one is not to be missed!

Over 60,000 of you enjoyed the Autumn’s Cheese & Wine Festival and we would like to say a HUGE thank you to everyone who visited! We are very grateful that you came and supported all the independent, artisan companies that exhibited with us.

In these tough economic times it’s not easy for smaller companies to keep afloat, so your support by coming along and buying products at the festival is invaluable.

Following last year’s success, we just couldn’t wait to start organising our Spring extravaganza! We are therefore very exited and happy to announce that the next Cheese & Wine Festival will be held at Southbank Centre in London, Friday 27 – Sunday 29 April 2012!

We promise some very interesting talks, delicious tastings as well as more fantastic exhibitors.

Valentina Harris will be back to manage the Cookery Theatre where we will have some amazing demonstrations and tastings. Wine journalist Tim Atkin will be back to hold his popular tutored tastings with exquisite wines and cheeses, as well as Patricia Michelson and many other renowned chefs.

Hope to see you all there!
