We engage local artists and legends, which makes our festival that bit more original and fun! Live music performances, banging bongo drums, DJ’s and game show hosts, all Wine and Cheese entertainers and artists especially picked for your enjoyment.
The quirky, eccentric, bearded, comedian, voiceover guy, writer, cheese and wine consuming, witty master of banter, Ben Sorensen will be our special guest MC for this year’s Wine & Cheese festival creating a whirlwind of fun and cheesy commentary!
It’s going to Brie a Gouda time for all with more of Ben’s puns than you can Camembert!
More than a little cheesy but it’s Stilton funny.
