Keighley and Worth Valley Beer and Music Festival

Modesty seems to prevent members of this railway from blowing their own trumpet, but can I draw your attention to the forthcoming Beer and Music Festival at the Keighley and Worth Valley Railway next weekend (23/24/25/26th Oct)?

120 beers

cask ciders and bottled beers look pretty good.

The entertainment, especially on Saturday night

looks eminently suitable.

Frequent trains from Leeds and Bradford (and Skipton for that matter). Buses to and from Hebden Bridge (free in the evening) may be of use to my Mancunian friends.

As I think I've said before, this festival, along with Peterborough, Cambridge and Liverpool, rank as on of my 'must do at all costs' beer fests.

And it's a great little railway, and all. Sometime watch the Last of the Summer Wine episode entitled Full Steam Behind, which features the K&WVRR and a Silver Band as well.

OBTW - seems like one of the folks who man the beer car on that railroad sometimes contributes here. Can't remember his name.

Well, Paul Rigg contributes to a number of newsgroups, and he's the festival organiser. Wouldn't be surprised to hear he's worked the buffet cars, too.

I'm working at the festival, probably Friday and Saturday evenings (subject to confirmation of rosters). Come over and say hello if you're there.

Geez, I'd love to, but ... won't be back across the pond till Spring. Will be in Holmfirth, Oxenhope, and Haworth then, and we will take the train to Keighley as well. Lookin' forward to some fine ales.

Also try the NYMR, and pop into the New Inn at Cropton near Pickering. Superb own brews.
