North Perrott Cricket Club has come up with something special for its first beer festival that’s being held at its Willis Lane ground, which has the reputation as one of the most picturesque in Somerset.
Palmers brewery in Bridport has produced a commemorative ale called ‘Keg B4 Wicket’ for the festival which takes place on Saturday, July 23rd from 4.00 pm to midnight. The special ale should be a big hit at the festival which will feature a choice of 24 specialist beers and eight ciders, many of which have been sponsored by local businesses and individuals. Admission price of £5 includes a souvenir glass and a free pint.
There will be live music from bands including The Beasties from London, plus a hog roast and barbecue. “Everything is being done to ensure that our first beer festival is the cricketing equivalent of hitting a six,” says Derek Boles, organising committee chairman. “We are hoping to attract support from people throughout the West Country, as well as real ale enthusiasts.”
At the heart of the festival is the club pavilion, opened in 2000, after a fund-raising campaign that raised £225,000 to build it, an incredible achievement for a small village with a big heart.
Somerset County Cricket Club has staged many of its 2nd X1 championship matches at North Perrott which is now the home venue for Somerset County Ladies X 1 matches.
