Wainfleet's first Beer Festival on October 9th 2004 in the Coronation Hall was a great sucsess thanks to the tremendous support from locals and visitors from all over the County. It was a really marvelous day for all age groups, from the caretakers of the Coronation Hall's latest grandchild to some very familiar veterens of the town.

Beer tasting was taken in moderation with only a committed few managing to complete sampling the 19 cask ales on offer, not forgetting the wonderful organic cider from Wells-next-sea across the Wash in Norfolk.

Local musicians the Dixie Duo kept the happy mood going until the Schuhplattler dance group from Boston Grammar school swung into real beer festival tempo, thigh slapping and wood chopping until we were all exhausted from laughing and clapping.

The Tombola was busy all day with winner's walking away with arms full of tankard's sweatshirt's and umberella's kindly donated by brewers and breweries across the county.

When hunger set in there was a whole pig-roast slowley crisping up by the fire doors at the back of the hall with delicious aroma's of apple sauce and stuffing filling the air.

The evening was rounded off with a real rocky horror show fron the Cynical Old Hippies who breathed life again into those wonderful Beatles and Stones hits of the 60's.

There just has to be more events like this in town where so many locals can get together and enjoy live music and a few yarns, come and help us make next year an even better year for Wainfleet.
