GLASTONWICK 2007
ADUR'S 12th ANNUAL BEER, MUSIC, POETRY, AND MORE BEER FESTIVAL

Friday 15th June: 6pm to midnight
Saturday 16th June: 12 noon to midnight
Sunday 17th June: 12 noon to 6pm
Church Farm, Coombes, West Sussex, BN15 0RS, United Kingdom

For the 12th consecutive year, and our first at the fabulous rural location of Coombes, this popular festival will again bring sleepy Sussex to life in June 2007. The main bonus of our great new venue is that we have been able to reinstate Sunday afternoon as a full session with entertainment for the first time since our days at Southwick.
As usual the event is organised by the founders of Glastonwick, namely chart-busting (Seagulls Ska) local poet and musician Attila the Stockbroker and international cask beer advocate Alex Hall. Matt Wickham of Dark Star Brewery is also helping this year with some of the planning that has to be done.
As in previous years, we promise you a weekend of enormous quantities of delicious real ale (including many new brews as usual), farmhouse cider, perry, and top quality entertainment.
Frequent trains run to Shoreham from Brighton, Worthing (both only 10 minutes away by train) and other stations along the West Coastway Line. From there, jump on our special shuttle bus linking the festival with Shoreham High Street and Railway Station, Southwick Square and Manor Hall Road, and Portslade.
This year camping is offered on site for only £3 per night (Friday and Saturday). Note you MUST book in advance if you wish to camp on site.



BEER, CIDER, FOOD, MORE BEER...
* About 65 cask-conditioned ales
* About 10 farmhouse ciders and perries.
* Quality food (including veggie options).
