The Shakesbeer Festival, Star Wing Brewery, Redgrave, Suffolk - 13th July 2019

It's the second "Shakesbeer" festival at Star Wing Brewery on the edge of Redgrave, deep in the Suffolk countryside. As the name suggests, it's a mash-up of beer festival with music and outdoor theatrical performances of Shakespeare - this year featuring Twelfth Night. We camp over in the van so we can make the most of the twenty or so beers on plus the evening entertainment from Mick the Baker's band, with former The BBs guitarist Rob on duty.
