9th - 11th July 2020
We have searched for the best beers & ciders for you to enjoy at the festival. This involves speaking to as many regulars and CAMRA members as possible to get suggestions. We try to put together a mix of local favourites, new releases and unusual beers as well as mix the type / colour / flavour as much as we can so hopefully there will be something for everyone.
This year we are going for:
