As hinted in the title, we have some amazing news! We'll be providing the bar for the main stage at Penkhull Jazz and Blues this Bank Holiday weekend 26-27 August. What better than a couple of delicious craft beers to go with live entertainment on the long weekend? We'll be on the village green along with the food concessions, and a wristband to get access to that area (and the main stage) is just £3 when purchased in advance. For more details, head over to the Penkhull Jazz and Blues Facebook page. See you there!
