You are cordially invited to join us for a Members Evening on 3rd October starting from 5.30 at Wine Freedom, Digbeth, one of Birmingham’s coolest areas. Network effectively with space for creative thinking as well as to relax, inform, and motivate. and it doesn't even matter if you are a member or not as the event is open to everyone to give a taster of the times as well as meeting the team and your industry.

This event will be the chance for you to unwind with your peers at a venue specialising in natural wine and quality food. Join your industry for a night of fun and laughter during these trying times whilst sipping on the best wines suited to your palette. This will also be paired with a fabulous menu with not a sandwich in sight…
