It’s always lots of fun and well-supported, with fantastic food, wonderful friendly people and of course, tasty award-winning ales. We’ve missed you so much at our events during lockdown – we’re hugely looking forward to welcoming you back to the brewery again.

There will be 2 competitions to find the junior (8 to 15 years) and senior conker champions of 2021.World championship rules apply… and all conkers are provided by the organisers. This is serious (& very fun) stuff!
