Beer festival sets June date
ONE OF Twyford’s most popular community events is set to go ahead later this year.
Twyford Beer Festival will pop up at Stanlake Meadow on Friday, June 10, and Saturday, June 11.
This year’s event will be the 12th organised by Ian Wisdom, and will once more be raising funds for male cancer charity Orchid.
“Plans are coming together nicely and there’s a great team in place,” Mr Wisdom said.
“We put on a successful festival last year, despite covid, and raised £12,000 for Orchid — our best total ever.
“We hope to build on that success with this year’s festival.”
A wide range of locally produced ciders and ales, including some festival exclusives, will be on offer. And the gin, wine and Pimm’s bar will be returning.
Food vendors have already been confirmed as Haweli, Rural Pie Co and A Star Catering, which is the same line-up as last year.
“Lovely Indian food, pies and barbecue, all perfect for a beer festival,” Mr Wisdom added.
In addition to the main beer festival dates, there will be a gig by Pink Floyd tribute act Crazy Diamond, on Thursday, June 9.
Twyford Beer Festival is also offering use of its marquee to community groups from Saturday, June 2.
Mr Wisdom said: “The tents will already be up and we thought that groups like churches and schools might like to use it to celebrate the Queen’s platinum jubilee.”
Early bird tickets for Crazy Diamond and the beer festival are available now for £10.
