How to Get to the Festival
(just to be sure, I suppose we could simply divide the amount on the cheque by six!)
By Car
The club is located at West End Park, Nailsea, North Somerset BS48 2BP . Telephone 01275 810818
That's just beyond the built-up area at the western edge of the town, along Silver Street and past The Moorend Spout and past Bakers-the-Butchers. Find us at multimap.com or look out for signposts to the Club when you reach Nailsea.
By Bus
Nailsea is well served by First Buses from Bristol and Clevedon, approximately half-hourly Monday to Saturday.
From Bristol Bus Station, services 354 /654 pass through Nailsea and go on to the western side of town. Alight at the second stop on Hannah More Road near Blackfriars Road, and walk through the park to the rugby club (look for the rugby posts) or walk along Blackfriars Road, and hop over the stiles.

Camping?
We often get asked if people can camp at the Club. Sadly our current planning consents prohibit this. So, please contact the festival organisers for local information on how/where to pitch-up.
Who are the Organisers?
This beer and cider Festival is organised by enthusiastic volunteers at Nailsea and Backwell RFC, including, in no particular order, Paul and Lou Turner, Elaine Lewis, Androulla Karanicola, Kat Sweet, Ross Parsons, Nick Williams, Simon Davis, Aidey and Julie Knighton and others.
The rugby Club itself is a non-profit making organisation. Every year the club puts on this event to support a chosen local charity, and to promote real ale and ciders.
