Cotswold Beer Festival Trip

Saturday 26th July 2008

Our annual visit to the Cotswold Beer Festival was the same format as most previous years. The bus left from Hinckley Railway Station car park at 10:00, arriving in time for the 12 o'clock opening. Everything at the festival was pretty much as previous years, although as a contrast to the floods of last year, everywhere was dry and the sun shone unrelentingly all day. The beers and entertainment were up to their usual high standard.

After closing at 3:00pm some of our party joined a walk over the Cleeve Hills to Gretton, whilst the rest visited the Corner Cupboard in Winchcombe. Everyone met at the Royal Oak, Gretton at 6:00pm for a meal and a few more beers before leaving for home at about 8:00pm.

Enjoying the sunshine & the beers!
