Gathering groups are many people’s first point of contact with the Ashford Vineyard community. We have a great range of groups which are always full of fun, laughter and sometimes even involve cake. We want to see communities where quality friendships are developed, and people feel comfortable enough to just be themselves. We would love to see you at any of the groups we run. Everyone is welcome and you can come along to as many as you like.
