Live music features on three of the evenings, with soul band The Basement on Thursday, rock n roll locals Vegas 6 on Friday, finishing with rockabilly band The Slingshots on Saturday. Loxley Silver Brass Band will appear in their usual Saturday afternoon spot. A good range of food stalls, tombola and games stalls, and CAMRA's own book stall selling all things beer-related will further add to the atmosphere. Friday night is also fancy dress night for staff and visitors and this year's theme of Sci-Fi should guarantee some interesting costumes.
The festival has chosen Sheffield Children's Hospital as this year's charity and will be offering drinkers the chance to donate their unused beer tokens at the end of the night.
