“Not content with simply being a sponsor, colleagues from one company are even donning their aprons and helping us out!

“We pride ourselves on providing the best in local craft beers, food and entertainment, as well as a Prosecco bar and cider bar and there is plenty of entertainment for children.”

John added: “The Festival is bigger and better than ever, and is an ideal occasion for people to enjoy and meet others in a relaxing and friendly way.“

The 10th festival will also feature music from local musicians, along with local craft beers.
