Time is running out to sign up for one of the most promising and exciting concepts Trustedplaces have seen for a long time. The Tasting Sessions is a new food and drink festival in London, which will take place on the 5^th of December 2009. This is not a farmers market nor is it anything like Taste London, it is about delivering unusual and compelling experiences around what people eat and drink. Trustedplaces were invited to a preview a couple of weeks ago and if this is anything to go by, this event is not to be missed.  We would like to point out we are not being paid to advertise this, we are however very excited about this concept, and it would be great to see lots of people there. 

Called “Towards a Fluid State” and held in an undisclosed warehouse location in Dalston, the festival will be the first of its kind. An immersive and informative food and drink experience profiling flights of Cognac,Whisky, Gin, Sake and Natural & Biodynamic wine matched with delicious food. It is also a platform for some of the UK’s hottest emerging contemporary artists, musicians, set and fashion designers, and it promises to be a truly unique experience.

The festival will run from 3-11pm with timed entry on the hour. Each session will last approximately 2 hours. The exact location will be revealed a few days before the event and tickets start at £16.50. Hayley Sudbury and Angella Newell are the brains behind this concept. They are both part of the Courvoisier “The Future 500”, a leading group of business leaders and entrepreneurs in the UK.
