Tickets for the event are priced at £15, and attendees can sip their way through some of the most exciting and interesting wines from across the globe, all carefully chosen by wine experts.

It’s a chance to chat directly to some of the industry’s most passionate retailers, too, who will guide guests through the wines they have on offer. This year’s articipating wine retailers include: 

The Wine Festival will also host market stalls from foodie favourites, including; Ancoats Coffee, Mello.Haus, Trafford Horticulture, MFDF Award-winner Dormouse Chocolates and Caroline Dowsett.

Some of the wine retailers will be serving up specially matched small plates, and attendees are also encouraged to refuel before or after the event at the incredible New Century Kitchen just downstairs.

A programme of tutored tastings and specialist masterclasses will take place across the weekend too, offering extra opportunities to delve into specific wine topics, themes and regions. All the masterclasses are free to attend and included in the ticket price.  As well as wine tutorials there’s also free flower workshops and even the chance to try your hand at painting.

There’ll also be music provided by Babyflxcko and Lebo and the bar is open throughout.
