SCRAN is an innovative one-day gathering uniting chefs, farmers, producers, policy-makers and community leaders.

The aim is to to reimagine what’s possible for Manchester’s food economy, spark connections, build networks and develop ideas in support of resilient regional food economies.

A discussion built around one open question: what’s possible when chefs, farmers, food producers, community projects and policy makers stop working in silos and start working across sectors to build the food system we need for the future?

A warm, inviting tapas bar in Cheadle Hulme village, full of heart and soul (and exceptional food), is holding a Meet the Maker evening. Clara Verheij will be introducing diners to her remarkable Bodegas Bentomiz winery, nestled high in the dramatic Andalusian hills of Axarquía.

Six wines. Six expressions of the breathtaking landscape – from Bentomiz Sparkling and Moscatel Sobre Lias to Rome Rosado, Tinto and David Dulce – each paired with a mouthwatering Andalusian-inspired dish, thoughtfully created by renowned Head Chef, Carlos.

Beautiful wines. Great food. A taste and an experience of southern Spain.

Renae Fund-raving ft. Chunky, Il Bosco, kusasa, Lil’ Minx, Sarah Sweeney & Synna G
