From a humble start in a pub car park, the Bolsover Beer Festival has grown into a community event that now not only has a fantastic range of real ales but live music and entertainment too. Returning for it’s 6th year and running over three days (Thursday 29th August 6pm – 11.30pm / Friday 30th August 12 Noon – 11.30pm / Saturday 31st 10am – 11.30pm) the festival is now based in Bolsover Town Football Club, partly under the cover of a large marquee.
The Friends of 4th Bolsover Scouts run the yearly Beer Festival to help raise funds for the group with the aim of building their own scout building. The festival has free entry and is family friendly. Some of the bands that will be on during the festive include the Jammin Dodgers, Meden Blazers, Playback & Newton’s Cradle. T
here will be 30 barrels of beer from breweries like Dolomite Brewery, Black Sheep, Castle Rock, Copper Dragon, Goose Eye, Brew York, Black Market, Nailmaker, Bank Top, Great Newsome and Woodforde’s.
A spokesman said: “Bolsover Beer Festival is back with more fantastic beers – it’s bigger and better again this year. We’re working on putting together an amazing beer list, so keep an eye on our Facebook page for updates.”
Saturday is the family fun day with community group shows from Little Sunflower Dance and Area 51 plus a bouncy castle and face painter. There is also a wide range of 16 different ciders available along with lager, 12 gins, vodka and a selection of food outlets. The event is set to be the biggest and best yet with some wonderful feedback.
Said Julie over on Facebook: “Fantastic 3 day Beer Festival yet again. Good selection of drinks & fantastic music. Brings Bolsover folks together. Friendly atmosphere & brilliant bar staff. Can’t wait for next year. From a small event in a pub to a massive marquee it gets better each year”
