White Horse Branch Beer Festival in November

We are delighted to announce that the Branch will be organising its 2nd Annual Beer Festival in Wantage from 11AM until 11PM on Friday and Saturday, the 20th and 21st of November. This follows on from last year's successful festivities, the first for many a year in the Vale. We are intending to provide roughly 30 cask ales, both local and from far away, light and dark, strong and meek, as well as half a dozen ciders and perrys. The Festival will take place in the Masonic Hall, Alfred Road, Wantage, OX12 8AN - left out of Mill Street, 50 yards from Town Square (see map).

Public Transport

From/to Oxford by the X30/31 (Stagecoach) until the early hours, from/to Didcot by the 32 (Thames Travel) until approximately 6PM. There are less frequent services to Faringdon, Newbury and Swindon.

Get involved!

If you are a CAMRA member and have agreed to help at the festival, (or in setting it up/dismantling it), please read the volunteers' health and safety notes before you start.

Provisional Beer list

Disclaimer: availability of any particular beer during the course of the festival is at the discretion of the bar manager - we will only serve beer when and if we think it is fit to be served.

We hope to demonstrate the quality of our local breweries as well as expose you to beers not so easily found in this area ... and a few old favourites. The following beers will (almost certainly) be available.
