Allgates and Coach House will be avail able on the bar at Bashall Barn from next Friday, May 20th, until the beer runs out. “There will only be. one nine-gallon
cask of each of the beers - that’s 72 pints - so we hope that people will get to the festival early to avoid missing out.” For more information, visit www.
