Ah, my last events column has arrived.
I’m not sure how many I have done this year, but I promise you it’s been an absolute joy to tell you about the art exhibitions, the store launches, the year-end parties, the camping weeks, the actor training sessions, the music, the quiz nights, the markets, and so much more. I hope you have a tonne of fun.
