The Farm Africa Gala 2016
Farm Africa hosted our second gala ball on 21 April 2016 underneath the magnificent Victoria and Albert Museum dome. With over two hundred guests and three Michelin-starred chefs, it was a wonderful evening, and raised over £135,000 to help Africa's farmers escape cycles of poverty.
We'd like to thank all of the chefs, sponsors and guests who helped to make the evening possible. Take a look at our photos (courtesy Becky Maynes) in the album below or on our Facebook page, where you can tag friends and colleagues.
