Redditch Winter Ale Festival

The Rocklands Social Club
59 Birchfield Road, Redditch, Worcestershire B97 4LB
Another successful Winter Ale festival with over 650 people attending and more than 2300 pints of Beer and Cider being drunk. This year the weather was kinder to us and we had several coach groups from Birmingham and Wolverhampton branch. The festival charity, the Alzheimer’s Society, raised £148 with £175 being donated from unused tokens. Thank you to all of you that supported this event and let’s look forward to the Bromsgrove festival in July.
