“Our annual summer barbecue is a time for sharing and getting to know each other better. As we continue our quest to help all businesses thrive, we are committed to creating opportunities for individuals to connect, inform and inspire each other.

“And what better way to do that than with a cruise on the River Severn, and the chance to enjoy a delicious barbecue as the sun set over our county town. It reminds us how lucky we are to live in such a wonderful county.”
