National Champagne Week: Three top places to celebrate
National Champagne Week returns from 1 to 7 October 2015, unleashing a whole week of the nation's favourite celebratory fizz, with a host of tastings, masterclasses and pop-ups, from London to Bath and beyond.
Whether you're a Champagne devotee or beginner to the bubbly scene, we've rounded up three of the best places to raise a glass during the boozy week. Hic!
Roman Baths and Pump Room, Bath
For one week only, one of finest ancient sites in the country will be transformed into a prestigious pop-up G.H. Mumm Champagne bar selling a range of Mumm Champagne. Enjoy the elegant surroundings of the Grand Pump Room as you sip Champagne and listen to relaxing live music in the historical site. In addition, the Roman Baths is hosting a unique tasting dinner for one night only on 2 October 2015 (£95), when guests will be treated to a lavish Champagne cocktail reception followed by a sumptuous four-course dinner with each course expertly paired with a glass of Champagne from the G.H. Mumm collection.
