BECCLES BEER FESTIVAL<br />
RETURNS TO HALL FOR SPRING...<br />
Following six successful autumn events, the<br />
organisers of Beccles Beer Festival have<br />
responded to popular demand and a Spring<br />
Beer Festival will be held at regular venue,<br />
the Public Hall in Beccles, on the weekend of<br />
Friday-Sunday, 6-8 th <strong>April</strong>.<br />
It will again be a celebration of Real Ales, Ciders<br />
and Craft Lager from 29 Breweries in Suffolk and<br />
Norfolk, and the organisers hope to see a repeat of<br />
last November when a record 1605 people visited<br />
the 3 day beer festival, drinking over 4,500 pints!<br />
Organisers Graham Elliott and Beccles Lido<br />
Limited Chief Executive, Shaun Crowley, told<br />
<strong>Bounce</strong> <strong>Magazine</strong> “The Autumn Beer Festival is<br />
arguably the biggest in the region and we are<br />
expecting that real ale enthusiasts will travel from<br />
all over East Anglia. It’s not just a celebration of<br />
local ales, but it’s held in Beccles Public Hall to<br />
raise funds for Beccles Lido Limited, which owns<br />
and runs the Hall, the Lido and Big Dog Ferry; and<br />
it’s run by Hall and Lido volunteers – so it also<br />
celebrates these fantastic community run Beccles<br />
attractions!”<br />
There will be live music, with the return of popular<br />
local performers Tosh & The Moonlighers on Friday<br />
at 9pm, playing a mix of party favourites and their<br />
own songs; and on Saturday night Solana play<br />
as part of their UK tour, bringing their stomping<br />
selection of toe tapping tunes combining folk,<br />
klezmer, flamenco, jazz and Arabic influences!<br />
Sunday will have a lower key vibe with families<br />
welcome. As usual, the Public Hall will also have<br />
a fully licensed bar selling wines, spirits and soft<br />
drinks for the non-ale drinkers; and there will<br />
be a good selection of hot and cold snacks to<br />
complement the beer, served by Lido and Hall<br />
volunteers. If you don’t drink them dry, off-license<br />
sales will be available from 5:30pm on Sunday.<br />
So make this a weekend to get over to Beccles -<br />
and why not use the bus or train so that you can<br />
really enjoy a selection of the tipples on offer?<br />
Ferry trips to & from Beccles Lido<br />
The Big Dog Ferry runs between Beccles Lido and<br />
the Locks Inn, Geldeston. A relaxing 3 mile boat<br />
trip along the River Waveney with the opportunity<br />
to enjoy the wildlife en-route and a meal and drink<br />
at Geldeston. Or stay on board for a round trip. If<br />
