Look forward to a jam packed weekend of events from a beer and wine festival to a ‘Great Cricket Cake Off’ baking competition with a wonderful fun day that the whole family can enjoy.
PLEASE NOTE: Live music at the Beer & Wine Festival will no longer go ahead as we have sadly been let down by the band we had booked. A sound system is in place so there will be music to add to the great atmosphere!
Come along and try our fantastic selection of beers and ciders, whether you are a beer connoisseur or simply want to experience your first beer festival, this event will have something for everyone!
For all those who prefer the taste of grapes rather than hops we also have a range of fine wines available.
A selection of food will also be available throughout our celebrations to soak up all of that beer!
Come along and enjoy a great atmosphere!
Come along and get your first glimpse of the Durham stars as Durham County Cricket Club take on Durham UCCE.
The beer and wine festival will be in full swing throughout the day!
