The first ever Wilma Awards, in association with Freedom Bar Soho took place on Friday afternoon, 7th November 2014 at an exclusive invite-only ceremony at Freedom Bar in Soho, hosted by Tim McArthur.
Guests were treated to Afternoon Tea with Wilma (courtesy of The Full English) and watched the winners revealed and listened to some very special live performances!
