Edgworth Real Ale Festival returns - Friday 24th September 2010

We are delighted to confirm that the Edgworth Real Ale Festival 2010 takes place on Friday 24th, Saturday 25th and Sunday 26th September 2010. Following the success of last years War of the Roses, the same theme (the second battle!!) will be used for this year's Festival.

This year's beneficiaries will be the North West Air Ambulance and Bolton Mountain Rescue Team, both of which are deserving of all our support and continue the theme of supporting charities that will benefit the local community.

The two team captains have just been agreed, with Thwaites captaining the team of beers from Lancashire, whilst Black Sheep have agreed to captain the team of beers from Yorkshire. There will be an excellent range of beers from both sides of the Pennines, as well as a selection of cider, perry and wine available as well.

You'll see that we have had a change of design this year, and our new poster can be downloaded as a PDF by clicking on the image to the left of this screen. Please feel free to print this out and share it with as many people as you want.

The 2009 Festival raised a magnificent £12,500, which was split between Bolton Mountain Rescue Team and Derian House Children's Hospice. The Festival now moves into its fifth year, having donated over £28,000 to charity in the previous four years. Without the incredible support of our sponsors, our volunteers and also our visitors, this Festival couldn't continue and we look forward to welcoming you at the end of September.

Cheers,

John Barlow

Chairman - Edgworth Real Ale Festival
