Evening at Davy’s Vintners Yard

Our esteemed Members and Strategic Partners were honored to join us for a truly exceptional evening hosted at Davy’s Vintners Yard, a delightful collaboration made possible through our valued member, Davy’s Wine Merchants, an independent, family-owned wine merchant with a rich legacy dating back to its founding in 1870.

Our guests were warmly welcomed with a complimentary drink to kick off the evening. To cater to diverse tastes, they were also given the delectable choice between a gourmet burger and mouthwatering pizza.

It was a delightful evening of networking and many guests had not visited Vintner’s Yard which lies behind the Wine Vaults. Vintner’s Yard has its own entrance off Waller Way, close to the DLR. Guests visiting the exciting Houdini’s Escape Rooms above the Wine Vaults have to choose between: Escape From Alcatraz, Escape from RMS Titanic or Room 13. After an exciting 60 mins experience, the teams can return to Vintner’s Yard to enjoy the food and drink we enjoyed.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to James Davy and Davy’s Wine Merchants for hosting the evening. Warren King, caught an excellent picture of two former front page stars of the Masthead.
