The Semillons, founded in 2005, are a group of wine professionals and journalists who are prepared to bravely flaunt their flesh to raise money for a very important cause.  To celebrate their 5th anniversary The Semillons are back with a new line up and a new show that promises to be bigger, better and even more full of surprises!

Why are we supporting Everyman?

 - To raise awareness and break taboos surrounding prostate and testicular cancer

- Prostate cancer kills one man an hour in the UK, with 35,000 men diagnosed each year. It is the most common cancer in men

- Testicular cancer affects men between the ages of 15 and 44, but is now 99% curable if caught early enough

- Research into male cancers is severely under funded and is said to be 10 years behind research into some other cancers 95% of the total donation from this event will go directly towards life-saving research  

- To raise funds so scientists can carry out research vital to improving the outlook for every man and stamp out male cancer forever
