The Fair, which takes place Monday 20 May - Wednesday 22 May, promises a thrilling array of events amidst the backdrop of the Olympia’s £1.3bn redevelopment.

One of the standout highlights of this year's event is the 'Judgement of London' blind tasting, paying homage to the late Steven Spurrier's iconic 'Judgment of Paris' blind tasting of 1976. Curated by Ronan Sayburn MS, CEO of The Court of Master Sommeliers, and Sarah Abbott MW, MD of Swirl Wine Group, this tasting will feature a panel of approximately 20 esteemed judges, including notable buyers, sommeliers and wine writers, such as Jancis Robinson OBE MW. The event will take place on Monday 20 May, with results unveiled on Centre Stage the following day.
