The year-long wait is nearly over as the Banbury Cherwell Rotary Club gear up for this years Beer Festival which is to be held at Banbury Rugby Club, Bodicote Park on Monday 30th August 2010.
The popular festival has grown over the 6 years beyond all expectation and now attracts over a thousand visitors a year – a good mix of local people including many families as well as serious beer drinkers who come to sample the 30 real ales, 6 ciders and wines on sale throughout the day.
The bigger, better, Bank Holiday bonanza has plenty in store to keep all the family entertained. Event organisers anticipate that this year’s programme of events will attract a record number to what is expected to be the highlight of the North Oxfordshire Summer. More importantly it will provide a great opportunity to share the benefit of this platform with Dogs for Disabled as well as a number of local charities so they can exhibit on the day and raise awareness for their causes.
Event organiser and Banbury Cherwell Rotary member Chris May explains: “There's plenty to occupy you at the festival, you can enjoy live music, sample some food, there will be Rugby and Cricket tournaments for the children, face painting, bouncy castle to name a few of the events on the day. Our Aim is to create a Beer Festival that provides value for money entertainment that people in Banbury can enjoy, gives charities an opportunity to raise funds for needy causes and affords businesses an opportunity to showcase in the community.”
Chris goes onto say: “Thanks to the beer drinkers and families who attended last year we managed to raise a total of £11,000 for Katharine House Hospice and a host of other local charities.”
The festival gets underway at 12.00 noon – 6.00pm Monday 30st August; money raised will go to Dogs for Disabled along with other local charities.
