Description
ONLINE TICKET PURCHASE NOW CLOSED. TICKETS AVAILABLE ON THE GATE
The Hinckley Summer Festival is back for another round of summer fun in the sun.
Succulent sausage will be aplenty with another fantastic selection of local artesan sausage ranging from the significantly sized farmhouse special through to an absolute Firecracker for those that like it hot! Everyone loves a good sausage!
We won't just be restricted to sausage though and will have more delights available some of which will be supporting gluten-free and vegan diets.
To wash the sausages down we will have a large selection of boxed ciders from around the country to tempt your taste buds and bring that sumptuous feeling of summer fruit & fun into the heart of Hinckley for the day. Happy Daze!!
We will also have Real Ale trailer on site selling a range of fresh and fruity summer ales.
And as a slight change to last year, we will be presenting our specially made Festival bar outside so the rum cocktail and gin & tonic lovers we will get served much quicker than last year. Here is a picture of it fully loaded at our recent Gin & Rum Festival. Obviously there will be fine array of excellent rums and gins available.
And if that isn’t enough the fabulous PitcHes bar will be open to serve pretty much anything else you need.
Of course there needs to be some great entertainment on stage so will have a combination of live bands and DJs to entertain you from 12pm through to 10pm.
