Events

Want to learn more about food and drink from our team of local experts? We place a great emphasis on using local products and delivering our events at independent venues.

Using locally-sourced products makes sense. You get fresh and seasonal produce. Having racked up fewer food miles your ingredients will be fresher and tastier. Buying locally also benefits Hampshire’s economy and supports the county’s producers. Everyone is a winner.

Most of our events take place at Hunter Gatherer in Albert Road. For our events, we usually open the venue at 6pm with a cash bar whilst playing some groovy music, with our events starting at 7pm.
