Cheltenham Winter Craft Beer Festival 2022 @ Pip and Jims
Feb 25 – Feb 26 all-day

The Friends of the Cheltenham Samaritans bring to you Cheltenham’s first ever ‘Winter Craft Beer Festival’, (Note this is not a CAMRA event)

Set in the unique and stunning settings of a Church. Not just any old church either, this is at the newly refurbished ‘Pip and Jims’ (otherwise known as St. Philip and St. James) in Leckhampton (just off the Bath Road). This is the first time that an event like this has been held in the church and if successful we hope it may be the first of many.

They will have two sessions for the festival one on Friday evening and one on Saturday afternoon, as follows:

Friday 25 February: 17:30 – 22:00 (last orders at 21:30)

Saturday 26 February: 13:00 – 17:30 (last orders at 17:00)

Each session will be limited to 250 people and at each session there will be at least 10 keg beers (including key kegs) available covering a whole range of different styles suitable for the winter season. There will also be a small range of ciders, but please note there will be no soft drinks, wine etc. It is planned that the beer list for the two sessions will be different.
A small range of cold artisan food will also be served but we cannot allow food brought in from outside to be consumed on the premises.

Tickets are £10.00 (plus ticket fees) and include a branded festival ½ pint glass and beer list. A small selection of early bird advance tickets are being offered at £8.00 (plus ticket fees).

All monies raised from this festival go to support the running of Cheltenham Samaritans.

Over 18s only, proof of age may be required on entry.

Don’t miss the chance to experience this exclusive festival in its unique surroundings, get online and secure your tickets now.

Ale Amble – March 2022 @ Stourbridge
Mar 23 @ 9:45 am – 6:00 pm

The March ale amble takes place on Wednesday 23 March and will visit Stourbridge

This is at Paul’s request to celebrate his 21st birthday (again!!).  We all like Stourbridge so let’s all have fun. (Party hats and balloons are not compulsory).

We are getting the 9.45 am train from Cheltenham, going via Worcester Foregate Street where we change for Stourbridge Junction and there, you may recall, we get the little shuttle train to Stourbridge Town.  There appears to be a train back at 6 pm.    Just make sure you get tickets via Worcester to Stourbridge Town (not via Birmingham)..

We will meet in the Chequers Inn, 96 High Street, which is a Wetherspoons pub.

Note:  For those coming from out of town our train should arrive at 11.18
