Last year’s Glastonwick, the first at Church Farm, was sold out Friday and Saturday and by popular acclaim the best ever - so we’re back!
Once more we can offer a free shuttle bus, overnight camping on the
Friday & Saturday nights, ample car parking space and tractor rides/some
entertainment for the kids, as well as the customary plethora of fine independently
brewed beer and music.
About 65 cask-conditioned ales, all from small independent breweries, mostly unusual but with a few ‘old favourites’. About 10 farmhouse ciders and perries.
Quality food (including veggie options).
Compered as ever by Attila the Stockbroker.
