A CHARITY is hosting a fine wine tasting event.

Prevention Town, which creates health and safety animations for youngsters, will host the event at Roberto’s Wine Bar, Crouch Street at 7pm on Thursday.

A range of Colchester bands will be performing live and there will also be a prize raffle.

Attendees will get to sample a range of wines and their £10 entrance fee will raise money for the charity.

The grand finale will be a special Prevention Town auction.

Tickets can be purchased from the charity shop at 37 Crouch Street.
