Tynedale Beer Festival is a must go today - great fun and great causes to support

Last night I had a great time at our biggest beer festival, that has hundreds of beers, ciders, music, great people and great food at Tynedale Rugby Club. The organising team of the Tynedale Lions and Tynedale Rugby Club are brilliant and tireless, with support from some great local sponsors, big and small. But special mention must go to the underlying purpose of the event, which is to raise tens of thousands of pounds for causes such as the Great North Air Ambulance, Help for Heroes, the Sir Bobby Robson Cancer Foundation, Action for Children and a local stall for Stay Strong Stu. If you have the chance to go today / tonight do so - it's open till 11pm

Thursday, Friday 12th/13th June 6-11pm and Saturday 14th June, 1pm-11pm at Tynedale Rugby Club, Tynedale Park, Corbridge.

If you like your beer festivals more relaxed then my favourite is the Haydon Bridge Beer Festival, on the 4-5th July, where I have helped out in the past: I set out their pitch for your support below. Put these future dates in your diary.

The organisers are both delighted and excited to be organising the fifth Haydon Bridge Beer Festival. This year’s event has a fantastic American Independence Day theme, kicking off as it does on 4th July. Whilst coming in appropriate costume is certainly not compulsory, the idea is definitely encouraged!
As well as 40 local beers, ciders from around the UK and wines from across the world to enjoy, there will be some great live music to chill out to.
There will also be delicious local food to savour, with meat coming from the farm just next door. You can’t get much fresher than that.
Set on the beautiful banks of the river south Tyne, the aim of the festival is to ensure people have fun while raising funds for worthy causes. This year’s recipients are the Great North Air Ambulance, St. Oswald’s Hospice and Tynedale Hospice.
