HAT DAY!
And Saturday is HAT DAY so make sure you are wearing yours!
Dig out your favourite hat, buy a crazy hat for the occasion or maybe even make your own themed hat.
Many of the staff will be wearing headgear of some sort and we encourage visitors to do the same
Don't be afraid of being unique or flamboyant - the more likely it is that people will stop and point at you the better...
ALSO...
- FOOD AND SOFT DRINKS available from the Ponds Forge foodetc. cafe
- House red, white and rose WINE available. Apparently not everyone wants beer!
- CAMRA membership and merchandise stand
- Stall selling t-shirts, hats and breweriana
WHERE
NEW, MUD-FREE VENUE...
PONDS FORGE INTERNATIONAL SPORTS CENTRE
in SHEFFIELD city centre, close to the RAIL STATION, BUS AND COACH
INTERCHANGE and FITZALAN SQUARE/PONDS FORGE TRAM STOP.
ACCOMMODATION AND TOURIST INFO available from Welcome to Sheffield.
LOTS OF TRADITIONAL CIDER AND PERRY
Right, lets get one thing straight. Its the proper stuff and lots of it.
Our ciders may range from dry to sweet but all are nowt more than fresh apple juice that has been fermented and our perries are simply fermented pear juice.
No fizz, no industrial concentrates and no random flavourings are involved and we don't intend or need to supply ice to hide the awful truth.
