The Swan at Marbury announces inaugural Beer and Cider Festival
The Swan at Marbury has announced its first-ever Beer and Cider Festival, set to take place from Thursday, September 5th, to Sunday, September 8th.
The festival will feature a diverse selection of high-quality ales and ciders from both local and regional breweries, with a £3 entry fee that includes a commemorative Swan at Marbury pint glass.
Held in the pub's paddock across the road, attendees can enjoy a wide range of expertly-selected beers served in a traditional style. The bar will accept both cash and card payments, and there will be covered areas in case of inclement weather.
In addition to the beer and cider, the festival will offer a variety of delicious BBQ food options throughout the weekend, including pulled pork, roast baps, burgers, and hot dogs. Live music performances will create a festive atmosphere, and attendees will have the opportunity to chat with local brewers.
