GLASTONWICK 2010
Our 15th Annual Beer, Music, Poetry and More Beer Festival
Fri-Sun 4-6 June 2010 at CHURCH FARM, COOMBES, WEST SUSSEX, BN15 ORS

Last year’s Glastonwick, our third at Church Farm, our 14th overall, was once again by popular acclaim the best ever. So we’re back! We have finally had to put the prices up a bit – but we are still one of the cheapest festivals around and certainly the BEERIEST! Once more we can offer a free shuttle bus, overnight camping on the Friday and Saturday nights, ample car parking space and tractor rides for the kids, as well as the customary plethora of fine independently brewed beer and music – see below. And for the first time we can offer online ticket sales, thanks to our friends at the Ropetackle Centre, as well as sales via the usual pub outlets.

About 65 cask-conditioned ales, all from small independent breweries, mostly unusual but with a few ‘old favourites’.
About 10 farmhouse ciders and perries. Quality food (hog roasts, burgers, chili, baguettes etc).

OPENING TIMES/TICKET PRICES:
Friday evening (6pm to midnight): £10
Saturday (noon-midnight): £15
Sunday daytime (12 noon-6pm): £5
Camping £5 per person per night (Fri and Sat nights only)
Online sales will incur an extra 50p postage charge.
