Information on this years Festival Of Sussex Tipples Beer Festival
1st - 2nd Oct 2010 Martlets Hall Burgess Hill - 3 Sessions to choose from
The festival of Sussex tipples is a celebration of great local drinks, for too long Mid-Sussex and Burgess Hill in particular has had to drink the same beers in almost every local pub. We believe times are changing and people want variety and different flavours, the fact that there are over 20 breweries in Sussex alone and if you tried to find them on offer in Burgess Hill you might find beers from 2 or 3 if you are lucky. Also the best place to try ale is at a beer festival, the beer will be in great condition due to the fact the cask would only just have been opened, when you ask for a beer in the pub generally you are not sure how long it has been sitting in the pipes.
Also this year we will have the beers in order of flavour, most beer festivals put beers in order of Brewery but this does not help people choose. Also we would like more women to attend, there has been an increasing number of younger women trying and enjoying real ale. The days where real ale was just for bearded old men with a dog are long gone. We want people to feel comfortable at the festival and enjoy the atmosphere, live music on the Saturday night and background music from some local bands during the other sessions. Tickets are now on sale and limited to 300 per session so to guarantee entry please buy in advance and look forward to seeing you at the festival. Click here to order your tickets online, remember to enter bonus code RH15 at the checkout to remove any shipping cost`s. Alternatively you can buy tickets direct at the Martlets, at the Brewers Arms in Burgess Hill or by phone on 01444 241093.
Band Confirmed for Saturday Night and it`s great news , Funky Soul band Ticklin The Pickle will be playing , check out http://www.facebook.com/pages/Ticklin-The-Pickle/182487390284?v=wall for some samples of their music. Further examples are available here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g2gih7gn6A8
