On the 6th October we have the annual Pumpkin and Beer Festival with a great selection and variety of beers, ales and pumpkins of all shapes and sizes, and live music.

PLEASE NOTE:
DUE TO VERY BAD WEATHER FORECAST, THE PUMPKIN FESTIVAL & COMPETITIONS ARE NOW ON SUNDAY 7th OCT FROM 1pm.
BEER FESTIVAL & MUSIC ARE STILL ON SATURDAY!

This year, as last, to celebrate we're hosting a "Vegetable Monster" Competition.
Design and create a scary monster or beastie from a vegetable or selection of veg.

Due to popular demand, we are again resurrecting the Scarecrow competiition!!!

This is in addition to the Vegetable Monster competition.

There will be prizes for both competitions, so let your imagination run wild. We hope to see you here!

THIS YEAR'S PUMPKIN & BEER FESTIVAL!
features DON KIPPER

Don Kipper are a multi award-winning 7-piece ensemble interpreting and transforming a wide range of traditional musical forms reflecting the cultural diversity of North East London, from Turkish and Greek Folk Musics to Romani music and Klezmer.

While they attempt to root themselves deeply in the traditions that surround them, they also explore radical interpretations and taut arrangements full of complex harmonies, rhythms and imaginative improvisation. They are equally adept at taking an intimate audience on a musical journey through Europe as they take their feet on a frantic journey around the dancefloor, at home both on large outdoor stages playing to a crowd of ecstatic dancers, and in sweaty tents getting the throng jumping.

Since 2013, they have released their First and Second albums, been featured on BBC Introducing and the BBC World Service, played two European Tours, and won the titles of both the Moshe Beregovski Award for best Klezmer Newcomers and World Music Network’s Battle of the Bands. If you like the Amsterdam Klezmer Band, Taraf De Haïdouks, or Balkan Beat Box you’ll love Don Kipper!
