SOMERSET Sight is organising an exciting and thought provoking blindfolded wine tasting evening next week.

The event will involve tasting and learning about wine from various regions including blindfolded challenges, experiencing what it may be like to be visually impaired.

Cheese and charcuterie boards will be served alongside the wine and in a fun and relaxed evening at Majestic Wine, Taunton, on Thursday, April 19.

Fundraising and development officer Holly Sutton said: “I am really excited about this event. We are so lucky to be supported by members of the local community and are grateful to Majestic Wine for hosting the event.”

Tickets are £10 with all funds raised going to Somerset Sight, the only local sight loss charity which supports more than 3,500 blind and visually impaired people each year.
