- 50th Anniversary Ale & Cider Trail
Saturday 16 March – Tuesday 14 May 2024
As part of the branch 50th celebrations we are running an Ale and Cider trail with Beer Voucher prizes for four lucky participants.
The event is open to all (not just CAMRA members) and will operate at the following venues:
Billi Tap - Billingshurst Apple Tree - Crawley Brewery Shades - Crawley Coach & Horses - Danehill Engine Room - East Grinstead Old Dunnings Mill - East Grinstead Anchor Tap - Horsham Black Jug - Horsham Brolly Brewing - Horsham Horsham Tap - Horsham Kings Arms - Horsham Malt Shovel - Horsham Kissingate Brewery - Lower Beeding White Horse - Maplehurst Kings Head - Rudgewick Red Lion - Turners Hill Half Moon - Warninglid
This is how it works:
JUST ASK a member of the bar staff for a sticker when you buy any drink (We'd love it if it was a pint from our local breweries and/or cidermakers, to celebrate their support for the Trail).
To qualify for the prize draw you need to collect stickers from at least Nine of the Pubs/Brewery Taps and then send us your completed sheet.
Four such Ale Trailers will win £25 to spend in the participating Pub/Brewery Tap of their choice.
Please email a picture or pdf of your completed sheet to: ku.gro.armac.xessushtron@yraterces by 7pm on Tuesday 14th May, or bring it to the branch AGM that evening at the Apple Tree in Crawley.
You can pick up a sticker sheet at any of the participating pubs, or download a copy HERE
