As a pre-cursor to the colourful Farmer's market on Sunday, the focus for Saturday 21st September is The Real Ale and Cider Day in the newly landscaped garden of The Priory Inn. Warm September temperatures may not be guaranteed, but you are sure to enjoy: an unwavering focus on food and drink sourced from within 30 miles of Tetbury; some great sets of live music; and of course, the finest selection of ales, cider, lagers and wheat beers all passionately crafted by local brewers. Anyone unsure (or unable!) to choose which tipple might be the best, can relax with a Priory Inn tasting paddle which gives 6 or 4 quarter pints – great for sharing and helping in decision making!
