Pub Goers - St Albans Beer Festival - With Band

Greetings once again Pub Goers,

We are fortunate in St Albans to have a particularly fine Beer and Cider Festival. To quote the website "Hundreds of cask ales and craft beers, international beers from all over the world, an extensive range of ciders and perries, and phenomenal street food and snacks will all be on offer.."

Various info that may be helpful (all on website too)
* Loads of beers in the main hall but also elsewhere in the building
* Main Hall Cider & Perry Bar – Loads of beers
* A range of no/low alcohol drinks will be available somewhere :)
* There's snacks & street food too but the web site doesn't say much about it. My experience is there was a good range.
* No wine or spirits I believe.

The fest runs Weds to Sat. We shall be going Wednesday evening to avoid waiting at the bar. Like every night there is a band.

The band on Weds night is: The Bear Pit Band (Pop / Rock Covers, 4 piece). We've seen them before & they are good!
They are on at 8.30 - 10.30

On-the-door admission costs £10 on Wednesday (or £5 for those with a valid CAMRA or NUS membership card - please remember your membership card).

Souvenir pint and half pint glasses will be available to buy.
You can buy beer vouchers as you need them.

There's also some entry packages (https://stalbansbf.org.uk/admission) that saves waiting or are for multiple days. But I doubt there will be a queue anyway.

Here's the festival website for more detail: https://stalbansbf.org.uk/

And location map for the Alban Arena: https://goo.gl/maps/vPiKkJNGAya7EpF48

It's difficult to say the best spot to meet everyone. If it's too noisy in the main arena (before the band comes on there is 'bingo'), so we may go outside (food area) until the band starts.
I will try to update via Meetup App on the day (though I recall mobile phone reception problems in the main hall).

Any problems finding us look for my identifiable t-shirt and/or text me on 0789 975 56 19

Cheers

Pete
