Bringing Gusbourne to King's: Our First King's Association Wine Tasting Event

Thank you to all who came along

On Friday 2 May 2025, we hosted our first ever King's Association wine tasting event, in partnership with the renowned Gusbourne Estate. The event took place at King's very own Malthouse Theatre, kicking off with a behind-the-scenes tour of the theatre. Our tour guide, Craig (Theatre Technical Manager) kindly gave us a glimpse of areas often unseen to guests, including the prop room, changing rooms, and production rigs.

Tours were followed by an informative wine tasting session led by Steve Kirkham, a fantastic Gusbourne Ambassador. Our own King's wine connoisseur, Alex Patton (Senior Deputy Head), engaged guests in a fun quiz, testing their wine knowledge to end the evening on a high note.

Thank you to everyone who came along and made our first King's Association wine tasting a success. It was an evening to remember, and we hope to see King's Association members at the next one!
