ERAF Returns Friday 30th September 2011

The Festival is almost upon us now, and we are delighted to have so much interest in the Festival once again. Whilst the buzz is picking up in Edgworth around the Festival, we are also expecting visitors from as far away as Norfolk, Suffolk and even Cornwall.

We are delighted to have the support of Holden's Ice Cream and RPG as our Headline sponsors for 2011. Whilst you may not be aware of the presence and work of both of these organisations, please visit the Sponsors page to find out more, or visit the Festival where you will definately feel their presence.

Our beer selection is now completed, and once again we will have in the region of 60 real ales for you to try and work your way through responsibly. We put a pin in The Barlow Institute on a map, and then drew a circle 26.2 miles around, and all of the beers come from within that circle. There are some popular favourites, national award winners and brand new micro brewery beers - so there will be something for everyone.

For the 2011 Festival, we will also be offering a more varied food choice over the course of the weekend.We will have the favourite Allen's Pasties and Hunter's Pies (as usual) but we will also have a selection of hot and cold sandwiches, a BBQ (weather permitting!) and a selection of hot bowl meals (think chilli, curry etc.) More details and the menu is available in the programme. This additional food is being brought to you by the team behind Holden's Ice Cream.

Please keep popping back to see if any new information has been added to the site, and we look forward to welcoming you to the Festival so we can all raise as much as possible for Help For Heroes and Great Ormond Street Hospital.

Cheers,

Alex Docherty

Chairman - Edgworth Real Ale Festival
