YE OLDE BELL & STEELYARD WOODBRIDGE

SECOND ANNUAL BEER & CHEESE FESTIVAL

Friday 30th July - Monday 2nd August

Following the success of last year’s inaugural Beer and Cheese Festival, the heart of Woodbridge is the setting for another 4 days of fun, food and fine ale at Ye Olde Bell & Steelyard in New Street. The festival which has now become an annual event will run from lunchtime on Friday 30th July right through the weekend finishing on Monday 2nd August. Visitors to the festival will be encouraged to sample not only a fine selection of Real Ales but a range of different cheeses and cheese dishes predominantly from Suffolk but also from further afield.In charge of organising the whole event are husband and wife licensees of Ye Olde Bell and Steelyard, Siggi and Adrian Batstone. The couple took over the 16th Century Inn a couple of years ago. Siggi said ‘Beer and Cheese complement each other perfectly so it made sense to have them both at the event’. People will have the chance to try a great selection of beers including; Sundance, LBW, and Olde Trip along with at least two surprise guest ales.For guests who feel peckish there will be special ‘Beer Drinkers Cheese Platters’ on the menu and on the Saturday there’s a ‘sausage sizzle’ in the garden (weather permitting).

Siggi and Adrian also invite visitors to participate in a range of traditional pub games including bar billiards, bar skittles, cribbage, darts, polka dice and shove ha’penny.There will be live music on Friday evening with Rich T making their first appearance and on Saturday night with Idriss Ibrahim also making his debut at this popular music pub. Sunday lunchtime sees a relaxed jazz session with the fabulous Barry Kingston Trio where guests can enjoy traditional Sunday lunch or something from the regular menu. Alternatively, guests are welcome to just come and chill with a pint or two of their favourite tipple. In addition there may well be a number of local musicians making adhoc appearances to entertain the guests throughout the weekendInside the recently re-furbished, beautiful timber framed building on New Street in Woodbridge which dates back to 1540, and hosts live music each weekend, you’ll find a warm and friendly welcome and a reasonably priced menu with some traditional pub food favourites mixed with dishes from Germany and across the continent for the more adventurous palette. For directions to the 2nd Annual Beer & Cheese Festival from Friday 30th July – Monday 2nd  August log onto www.yeoldebellandsteelyard.co.uk or telephone Adrian & Siggi on 01394 382933.  

THE BIG SUMMER DE-CLUTTER FOR

BBC RADIO SUFFOLK’S TREEHOUSE APPEAL

We all have junk that we think is only worthy of the dump. Well here’s your chance to have a big summer clear out and at the same time help to raise funds for East Anglia’s Children’s Hospices Treehouse Appeal.

Sunday August 8th will see the whole of Suffolk taking part in a massive de-clutter with a series of car boot sales across the county- the focal point being a huge family event and monster car boot sale at the Trinity Park Showground in Ipswich. This major BBC Radio Suffolk event is part of the ongoing efforts to raise £3 million for a new children’s hospice for EACH and hopes to involve every car booter and bargain hunter in Suffolk.

The idea was the brainchild of the James Hazell show when producer Sally Burch got fed up of the junk that was accumulating in her garage.  Together with presenter James Hazell, they joined forces with the staff at Trinity Park, car boot sale organisers Shandale and the EACH fundraising office to formulate the Big Summer De-Clutter.  James said: “This is a win, win situation. Guests on the show are always telling us people need to de-clutter.  Well we can all do just that - and make a substantial contribution to the fantastic Treehouse Appeal at the same time. It will also stop Sal whingeing about the state of her garage!”

Sal added: “The Big Summer De-Clutter is the perfect solution to all those hidden treasures that have been locked away in the loft or garage gathering dust.”

The Big Summer De-Clutter will run from 7am until 3pm on August 8 at Trinity Park Showground in Ipswich.

Patsy Johnson, EACH capital appeal fundraiser, said: “The Big Summer De-Clutter is a great concept which will raise funds, bring people together and raise the profile of the EACH Treehouse Appeal across the region.”

A total of 500 pitches are available at a cost of £10 each, which will go directly to the Treehouse Appeal, and can be booked by contacting Patsy: 01473 276115

Even if you don’t have a stall at the event you can still do your bit to support the appeal by donating your unwanted items to EACH, which can be sold in EACH shops or recycled to raise funds. The de-clutter event will also host a family funday- so there will be something for everyone- entry- Adults £1, children free.

Those who make it through the audition stage will go on to perform across the UK in live shows, in front of a live audience and judging panel, for the chance to sing at the Grand Final at the 02 in London. The panel is made up
of industry insiders, A&R, vocal coaches and guest celebrities.
There are plenty of opportunities to win prizes throughout the competition. There's over £50, 000 worth of prizes up for grabs and the winning act will be offered a recording and management contract to develop their music and release their single. Competing acts will also have the chance to perform live in some of the best music venues in the country.
