There’s nothing better than getting together in person with your fellow cheese lovers. And this month, we’re in a regally celebratory mood; we’re especially delighted to feature a training course provided by Royal Warrant Holders, Paxton & Whitfield. If it’s not training you’re after, we’ve got a whole host of tastings and festivals to whet your appetite.
