🌩️ **Well… that was dramatic!** 🌩️

After weeks of planning, building, lifting, organising, worrying, rearranging and probably questioning my life choices… the night before our 26th Annual B**r Festival and the heavens decided to put on a show! 😂🎷⛈️

But here’s the thing…

**RAIN NEVER PUTS THE PEOPLE OF SAWLEY OFF A GOOD B**R FESTIVAL!** 🍻😂

So, if the weather decides to be a little moody this weekend, **bring your wellies and come anyway!** ☔️🥾

We’ve got **plenty of shelter**, loads of b**r & c***r, live music, food, and if you’re getting a little chilly or soggy… **we’ll even sort you out with a FREE cuppa tea to warm you through!** ☕️😂

The b**r is ready.
The tents are ready.
The team is ready.

And whatever the weather… **WE ARE READY FOR YOU!** 🍻❤️

See you at The Harrington Arms from tomorrow! 🍺🎶

B**r festival prep: the bit where I pretend I’m doing it all myself… 😂🍻

A little behind-the-scenes look at me building and installing the b**r racking — but the truth is, none of this happens without my very own village.

My husband Dave, who somehow always gets roped into the jobs I confidently announce are “easy” 🤣❤️, and the brilliant people around us who turn a crazy idea into an actual b**r festival.

There are SO many people behind the scenes — building, lifting, fixing, wiring, organising, worrying about the weather, answering my 47 daily questions and generally making the impossible happen.

It really does take a village… and I’m incredibly lucky to have one. ❤️🍺

Now… back to building! 🍻
