Happy Saturday folks!

2 weeks today is Wedmore Real Ale Festival's fancy dress night!

This year’s theme is a silver/ neon rave - owing to it being the silver Ju-Beer-Lee, and also our amazing headline band, “No Limits” RT90s Presents: Insomnia & Sorted

They will be bringing you all the best 90s dance anthems to get the party going, so think glow sticks, shiny clothes, bright colours…and bring your dancing shoes!
