Contestants to your positions, please!

Summer Social is almost here and we’re gearing up for what’s guaranteed to be one of the highlights on this year’s events calendar. 

As partners for this event, we’ve got the inside scoop on how it’s all going to go down on the day.

It’s time to gear up, get ready and give it your all. This is how to Summer Social.

How to Get to Summer Social

Parking is available for £10 but spaces are very limited, so it’s advised that you opt for other modes of transport.
