Saturday was something else - better and more wonderful than I could have ever hoped for and it was all thanks to you amazing people.
We held our first beer and cider festival in support of JHAC - Jelleyman's Heritage Arts Charity and wow, you wonderful people showed up in force.
Our beautiful suntrap of a courtyard was full, glasses charged and a fantastic atmostphere from opening until close.
Thanks so much to everyone who came down, bought friends, bought family. Whether you had just a one drink or stayed for
'just one more' you all made it a great day.
All the credit belongs to the wonderful people who made it happen:
BOA Brewing Company
Bewdley Brewery
Barbourne Cider
Hinton’s Gin
The Little Coffee Van
JW Catering, 5 star catering.
Alex and Zac with their incredible curries and samosas
Black Chilli's traditional games were out of this world.
Laima Plays Harp and Half a Clown were spectacular and reminded everyone that this is what Jelleyman's Mill is suppposed to be: full of life, community and joy.
On a personal note, I'd like to thank my wonderful wife Rebekah, our Amy and Jack, all of whom really stepped up to make this possible. As well as all of our lovely volunteers who were able to help us set up, smash the day and clear up (not that is was much of a mess).
We've had a few days to recover, but plans are already underway to do it again, bigger and better.
If you were there, I'd love for you to drop your photos in the comments - I didn't have chance to get many myself!
If you weren't - we'll see you next time.
Same time next year?
