First Friday at FVR

Kick off your weekend and discover a new monthly ritual at the edge of the moors. This evening event is designed for locals and visitors alike who want to experience the very best of our local community, food, and culture. We have a special ticket price for children (£10) please ensure you choose the correct ticket type above. You will spend your evening at our venue, The Kitchen in Wykeham, exploring a rotating showcase of live entertainment, special guests, and independent local partners. Your journey begins as doors open at 5:00 PM. Grab a table inside or head out to the rear garden to watch the sun set as twilight settles over the trees. Your ticket acts as your exclusive food token for the night: simply head over to our outdoor (or indoor depending on the weather!) station whenever you're ready to eat to collect a full, signature serve of our house-smoked or flame-grilled feast. What to Expect Pit BBQ: A dedicated feast from our in-house smoker or grill. Depending on the weather, we’ll be serving up low-and-slow smoked classics or flame-seared specials, prepared completely fresh on the night. Special Guests & Collabs: We believe the best things happen when we work together. Each month features a rotating collaboration—whether it’s a guest producer pop-up, a takeover from a local craft brewery, or a partnership with regional makers. The After-Hours Bar: Access to an exclusive, one-night-only drinks menu. We step beyond our daytime service to bring you expertly crafted coffee cocktails, guest craft taps, and a curated selection of drinks designed to pair perfectly with our food for the night. The Entertainment: A vibrant backdrop of live music, vinyl-only DJ sets, or temporary art installations. We partner with local artists to ensure the evening's energy is as high-grade as the food and drink. This is a unique opportunity to experience The Kitchen after dark and connect with the heart of our local food and drink scene. Spaces for this special event are strictly limited to ensure a personal and comfortable experience.
