A Tapas Safari – Saturday, 25th September

A new take on an old favourite – meet in the Village Hall for a glass or two of sangria and then off to various houses throughout the village for some interesting plates of tapas and then on again to another couple of destinations for more varieties of tapas before returning to the Village Hall for coffee & liqueurs.

For the Safari traveller you get to meet different people, see different houses and taste different delicacies. For the hosts you have all the fun of welcoming people into your home but without the stress of preparing and cooking a main course to a tight schedule. More details to follow but put the date in your diary NOW!
