Beer festival. The tiny bar was even more cramped with the stillage taking up a fair amount of floor space.

Saturday afternoon, and the town was busy with Christmas shoppers. There was a large group of males in drag fancy dress drinking outside the pub, but once inside we found a small and pleasant bar.
