Entertainment throughout the event, including the Wychwood Chorale, the children of Chadlington School, Charlbury Morris men, Chipping Norton Allstars, The Whisky Robbers and Zool. There should be something for everyone!
If the kids are happy, we're all happy, so as usual there will be plenty for the children to do. There will be a free bouncy castle and teacups roundabout, plus the usual kids bits and bobs; Last year we had face painting and various craft activities, so there will be something along these lines again.
Cricket match (we hope), entertainment by Chadlington Primary School, possibly ferret baiting or candle weaving - anything is possible!
Details will be added to the relevant part of this website as and when they are firmed up. So, come back and check every few weeks and let's meet up for a beer? How about Saturday 9th June, in the centre of Chadlington?
This Beer Festival is the chief fund raiser for the Friends Of Chadlington School and all proceeds go to the school. If you have any comments or requests, go to the Comments And Suggestions page and type away.
Which will be the winning beer?
Each year the assembled punters vote for their favourite beer and a winner is duly announced.
The 2011 winner was HOLE HEARTED brewed by Oak Leaf Brewing Co. Ltd, Gosport. The winning beer is awarded a Commemorative Trophy, in memory of Mike Willis, former landlord of the Tite Inn, Chadlington.
The first Chadlington Beer Festival was held in 2004 in aid of Chadlington Primary School and organised by the Friends Of Chadlington School. Following its success it has now become a permanent village fixture, taking place in the first week of June (except this year, when the nation is celebrating something else).
The original mastermind was Rik Yapp, expertly aided by The Committee (which anyone is welcome to join if they want to help).
The festival is entirely run by volunteers and is run as a fundraising and community project. So please support it in any way you can:
We are very grateful as ever to our Sponsors And Supporters. Please take note of who they are: they are supporting the community through this event - please support them in turn. Local businesses need local customers if they are to flourish!
