Campsite
"In our 8 acres of rural England we have free showers, toilets, washing up sinks with hot water, 4 mains drinking water taps. waste & recycling facilities, picnic benches, football nets & volleyball nets - just bring your own bbq, get the Rue Hill campfire going & enjoy!"
Real ale Train
## There’s nothing like the first sip of an ice-cold beer on a summer’s day. Our festival combines a love of ale with live music and good food, tied together with a ride through the beautiful Churnet Valley aboard an impeccably-restored heritage locomotive. Spanning 5 and a half miles, with events on-board and off, the Rail Ale Trail is the perfect way to spend a July weekend with family and friends".
NB Steam train only running in afternoon according to timetable
