Three days of live music at diner’s charity beer festival

Richard’s Charity Beer Festival

Iron Horse Ranch House, Market Deeping, Friday - Sunday

After opening Harley’s Diner way back in 2007 in Market Gate it’s time for Richard Swinscoe to hang up his apron and hand over the reins to the next generation.

Join the team for a weekend to remember and make sure he gets a good send off.

There is a real ale and cider bar and live music all weekend.

On Friday the entertainment comes from The Expletives , 7pm - 10pm; Saturday from Division, 12.30 - 2.30pm, followed by Last Minute Brigade, 3pm - 5pm; a surprise band from 5.30pm - 7.30pm; and headliners are the Foo Fighterz tribute band from 8pm - 10pm.

It carries on on Sunday with Sara Ashley 12-2pm; Dan Knight 2.30pm - 4.30pm; Ray Fenwick Band 5pm - 7pm and it is hosted by Teddi The Drag Queen.

Tickets are £5 a day or £10 for the whole weekend and the beer festival is raising money for Sue Ryder Thorpe Hall Hospice in memory of Richard’s family and friends that have been treated there.
