With origins as a local music and ale festival beginning in 1991 this has since grown in notoriety to become one of the most respected blues events in the UK. With three bands each night, and four on Saturday afternoon, the philosophy has always been to promote live music, alongside a selection of great English ales (and a BBQ!). A fabulous event with a wonderful local feel.

Outside area provides casual seating, BBQ and a mobile bar “The Old Coach Inn” – for coffee, tea, soft drinks and alternative refreshments to the ale and cider provided in the hall.

Weekend tickets allow holders to attend both evening sessions and the Saturday afternoon session. Total price normally £47.

Children accompanied by an adult are free on Saturday Afternoon.
