The popular Grape and Grain alfresco experience will return to Maldon Prom on Thursday, 22 April.

Having been a hit in the summer of 2020, the Covid secure Grape and Grain will run from Thursday to Sunday each week, from 12 noon until 10pm. As last year, it will be aimed at those who wish to drink responsibly while enjoying some of the very best locally produced beer and wine, with some available from slightly further afield.

Local events organiser Eleanor Taylor is working in partnership with celebrity mixologist, Dustin MacMillan, to supply drinks from local brands such as Mighty Oak Brewing company, Wilkin & Sons fruit juices and spirits and wines from New Hall vineyards. Local Essex food traders will also be providing food.
