The Bollington Wine Fair has been confirmed to return for a third-year running.

The event is ran by Wellington Road cheese and wine shop Knowles Green Creative Tasting, and takes place at the Bollington Arts Centre.

From British wines to those from around the world, you won't need to travel far from Macclesfield to taste the world's best wines.

New additions this year are minimal intervention wines that sneak into organic, natural and vegan categories.

And co-organisers Dagmara Sztompka and Mark Dent have arranged a big new feature for this year.

Their famous customer Dan Hunter, from last year's The Great British Bake Off, will be providing food for the event.

Dan, who regularly buys ingredients from the Bollington deli, had this to say about teaming up with Knowles Green to deliver this year's Wine Fair.

"I am really looking forward to being part of the Knowles Green team for the day with Mark and Dagmara," said Dan.

"I will be providing pizzas and treats on the day, and it will be an exciting challenge as I've never made so many pizza's before.

"We will be putting an exciting seasonal menu together which I always love incorporating into my pizzas.

"Hopefully I can have a nice glass of wine or two once I'm done!"

And there is not long to go until the event.

The event takes place on Saturday May 18 from 2pm.
