Let’s go Alfresco
Head outside for some alfresco dining and enjoy the British springtime in the great outdoors. Our alfresco dining page will point you in the direction of all the venues that offer the best alfresco dining opportunities and if you feel like getting elevated, then our rooftop terrace page is for you.
What’s new at Shelter Hall
If three days of feasting with friends and family at the newly dubbed “gastro Glasto” sounds like something that’ll get you salivating, then Foodies Festival is for you! Lucky for us we won’t have to travel to Pilton for this fun-filled weekend, because it found its happy place at Preston Park.
