About this festival

Join us for our first ever Mayday Shindig! Here at the brewery in Bowburn. Sample 10+ real ales/craft beers plus wines, spirits and soft drinks. Live music kicking off with an open mic at 1pm, followed by the talented Ste Wilson at 2.30pm on vocals and guitar. At 4.45pm Longsight are headlining, a local full band playing everything from The Clash, The Jam, Sex Pistols to Oasis. You may remember them from our winter beer festival, where they blew the roof off the brewery. We have Whitley Bay Pizza Co to keep you well fed with their amazing stone-baked pizzas. This is going to be a fantastic day with two bars serving all your favourites, plus many new beers to try.
