I was asked to arrange some trips by rail, so with this in mind, we head for Burton-upon-Trent for the Burton and South Derbyshire Beer and Cider Festival which is being held in Burton Town Hall. Now free to CAMRA members although there is a non-refundable £3 charge for a festival glass. If you intend going, you are advised to purchase your festival tickets on-line in advance. If you just want a day out visiting the local pubs, then a map with suggested pubs will be provided. Leaving Northampton at 10:10, a Railcard is £18.95, Groupsave around £26 each, and normal £28.50.
