Beer fest draws record crowds
Raising funds for Castel Froma and Helen Ley care centres, all six of the village’s pubs once again took part in the four-day event over the bank holiday weekend, bringing in record crowds for the sixth year running in the festival’s six-year history.
As usual, festival-goers had the choice of walking between pubs - or taking a ride in a Shire horse-drawn carriage. There was also live music, hot food, Morris dancing, magicians and children’s entertainments from last Friday evening until Monday afternoon.

“We were supporting Castel Froma and Helen Ley, who had a marauding gang of pirates out to raise money all weekend.
“Sales were getting stretched towards the end.”
