No plans on BH Monday? Join us at the Blanchland show. It’s a lovely little show AND the weather is looking good! Kerry Weir Music will also be performing!

Not long to go now! We're exited to welcome The Blue Bell Inn back to the show this year, doing what they do best - keeping you all refreshed!

They'll also be joined by the amazing Kerry Weir Music and The Lynch Mob for live music throughout the day.

Come join us on Monday and treat yourself to a tipple and an icecream with some great live music.

Please remember to bring cash - unfortunately we don't get great phone reception here!
