Real ales, magic and dancing at festival

Posted on May 30, 2007

The Eaton Bray Hall Fund-raising Committee and volunteers from CAMRA are joining forces to stage the village's fourth annual beer festival.

The event will be held in Eaton Bray Village Hall on Friday June 1 and Saturday June 2.

The two groups aim to raise money for the refurbishment of the hall.

The festival will run from 6pm to 11pm on Friday evening and from 12 noon to 11pm on Saturday. Visitors can sample 16 real ales, two ciders and two perrys, all organised by volunteers from the Campaign for Real Ale.

The non purists can get lager, wine and soft drinks from the hall committee volunteers, who will also run a barbecue and baked potato stalls.

Live entertainment on Friday evening will be supplied by Bob Thomson. There is a special magic show for children on Saturday afternoon and Paul Green (Greenie) will be there on Saturday evening to help everyone dance the night away.

Proceeds from the event will help to revamp the toilets and to bring the hall into the 21st century.
