Real Ale and Gin Festival

24th-26th September

The annual Real Ale and Gin Festival returns once again in September.

This event has firmly established itself on the calendar and will once again be offering a tempting selection of beers from around the country alongside a range of international gins from across the globe.

The event is family friendly and there will be a selection of soft drinks available for children (and drivers!) as well as food served throughout the festival.

There's no need to pre-book - just turn up!

The Woolpack - 10% Offer

Calling all CAMRA Members! Are you getting the most out of your membership?

At The Woolpack, we believe in rewarding real ale lovers properly. While most pubs offer a flat 50p discount, we give you a full 10% OFF every single pint. Check out the math on a pint of Timothy Taylor's Landlord:

Most Pubs: £5.50 - 50p = £5.00 - The Woolpack: £5.50 - 55p = £4.95. It's simple to start saving:

  1. Bring your CAMRA card to the bar.
  2. We'll register it once.
  3. Scan it on every visit after that.
  4. Your 10% discount is applied automatically!

Come down, enjoy the garden, and treat yourself to a perfectly poured ale at the best price in town.
