Beer and Cricket, what more could you want?

Thursday July 28th- Sun 31st July 2011

cricket_and_beer How about: quality live music, great food, a family-friendly atmosphere, a weekend of laughs, booze and (hopefully) sunshine!

This will be the 4th Moreton Beer and Cricket Festival, hosted by The Bear at Home and Moreton Cricket Club. The original festival, held in 2008, was to celebrate the cricket clubs 150th anniversary and the festival was such a hit that it was held again last year and continues to grow.

Take a look around this site to get a taste of what the weekend has to offer

beerfestival01 It is free entry, and free parking (details on the directions page) so what's to stop you from coming?

We all hope that you thoroughly enjoy the festival, a celebration of what is quintessentialy English: ? Village cricket and Real Ale!
