Billesbury Festival

Post by Beth »

Huw has kindly offered to host a garden gathering at his house in Billesley, on Saturday 26th July from 4pm. I've booked the sunshine so it's gonna be lush.

Last year's was tiki themed with cocktails and Hawaiian shirts all around and we had a great time. This year we're going for a festival theme so bring out the glitter and your weirdest and most fun clothes! Hopefully we can skip the wellies and longdrop loos.....

Cocktails will be served once again from the garden bar! There will be a contribution required to cover the cost of the cocktails, but please also bring a bit of whatever else you fancy drinking as the bar would buckle under the weight of sufficient cocktail mixers to quench the thirsts of every boozy Mercian. Please also bring along some snacks/salads/pizza/cake etc for sharing.

Address will be sent out nearer the time. Yardley Wood is the nearest train station.

Sign up below!

1. Huw
2. Beth - apple crumble (got a glut!), corn on the cob, houmous and olives

4. Stew (nct) - 4 burgers and buns and some proper sausage!
