TICKETS are selling fast for the hangingditch Wine Fair at Manchester Cathedral on Friday, November 20. Now in its eighth year, this showcase for the neighbouring wine merchant has become a victim of its own popularity. Capacity this year has been halved to 250 to concentrate on the serious tasting rather than the ‘let’s party’ side. Tickets cost £35 but you can redeem up to £25 of this if you buy a dozen or more bottles on the night. It’s always a splendid occasion. Highly recommended.
Manchester Cathedral, Victoria Street, M3 1SX. 6.30pm, Fri, Nov 20. £35 – tickets available on 0161 832 8222 or in person from the shop.
