| Free Loire wine tasting and creative fun in Victoria Park Bloom Big Festival is back! For the second year, this free-entry, family-friendly celebration invites you to immerse yourself in the vibrant world of Loire Wines. Expect live music, sip-and-make sessions, and — the pièce de résistance — a free guided wine tasting. It's all happening Saturday 1 June and Sunday 2 June at one of our favourite east London pubs: the People's Park Tavern in Victoria Park. Here, you'll get better acquainted with the diverse wine styles of the Loire. On top of the free wine-tasting we mentioned, there are ticketed masterclasses to help you sip like a sommelier and curate food pairings that'll seriously impress at your next dinner party. Speaking of food, there's plenty on offer to complement the vast array of wines available by the glass and by the bottle, from pub grub to gourmet bites. Bloom Big Festival 2024 isn't just for wine-lovers. There's also a ton of creative fun to get stuck into, inspired by the natural beauty of the Loire Valley. We're talking terrarium-making with Botanical Boys, watercolour workshops with Lavender Print School and scented candle-making with Wax/Wine.
