🍷 Pairing Culture with Comfort

One of the best things about Weston’s winter events is how easy it is to pair them with cosy evenings out. Start with a festive concert, then head to a nearby pub for mulled wine. Or enjoy a matinee show at the theatre, followed by afternoon tea at one of Weston’s cafés.
