Beer and Food Festival

The Farmers Market was a snowy one but thanks to everyone who came and made it a great day.

A great big thank you to the fantastic people at Wylam Brewery who lent us their beer tent over the weenkend. It was essential as can be seen here. The beers were tasty and the bar looked magnificent.
