Keighley and Worth Valley Beer and Music Festival

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.

Bah, last time I was there I got charged for Two Pints, but only got one.

:-)

I love the fact that it comes in a 500ml bottle too! cheers, MikeMcG (fitting a quart into a pint pot for years)

Yes well last time I worked the buffet car was during the steam gala about

Shall be about mainly at Oxenhope if anyone wants to say hello.

For Beer lists, train time, bus times etc. see

There will be also be the Old Spot Brewery Bar on platform 4 (I think) at Keighley Station

Perhaps I should point out that it is possible to buy a through ticket to the railway from any station in the UK. It costs £9 more approximately than a ticket to Keighley. It is NOT available via the Hebden Bridge bus.

The through ticket is treated as a day rover on the KWVR and therefore includes unlimited travel on the day and also entry to the beer festival.

Railcard discounts are available - though Northern don't seem to be able to " add " it to tickets issued for 35p/70p to West Yorkshire PTE concessionary permit holders.

Was well worth the effort of going there , wiil definately be there again , Cheers Coudy
