The Driftwood Spars, in Trevaunance Cove, Cornwall, is gearing up to celebrate Halloween with a weekend of events, including a beer festival.
Taking place between 27th and 29th October, the event is free to attend, aside from a ticketed Comedy on Tap session on the Saturday, featuring Jarred Christmas.
A mini-autumn beer festival will feature a large selection of the brewpub’s own seasonal small-batch brews, and ten guest beers from around the UK.
“We’ve chosen a good range of guest beers to complement our own selection — four in cask and six in keg, from some of our favourite small breweries,” said head brewer Mike Mason.
“We’ll also be holding tastings and showing small groups around the microbrewery throughout the weekend.”
Driftwood Spars specials to look out for include Ore, a decadent and sweet caramel stout, and a green-hopped beer made with local wild hops.
Throughout the weekend, everyone is welcome to call in for movie screenings and live music, while converted shipping container The Crib Shack will be serving a warming array of alcoholic and non-alcoholic hot chocolates.
The family-friendly event includes a children’s fancy dress competition and a prize for the best pumpkin carving.
Landlady Louise Treseder said: “All Hallows Weekend is the perfect way to mark the change of season. Come and enjoy good food, beer, and company in cosy surroundings, with some great entertainment for all ages. You’ll be fully ready to embrace autumn after a weekend in our lovely old brewpub by the sea!”
