Redditch Winter Ale Festival

4th & 5th February 2011

I would like to thank everyone who has helped and supported this year's festival, and a special thank you to everyone who was able to turn up again today to take everything down and pack it away again.

Having changed venue this year, I'm happy to report that we had nearly 600 people through the door and managed to sell all the cider and all but a few pints here and there of the beer.

Finally we raised £487 raised for our festival charity Primrose Hospice.
