This time around expect short and snappy sets from Gentleman Jimmy T, DJ Bobbins & MC MJ, Caith & Gaby and Nony Zero. 

There is a fully stocked bar on the night with quality locally brewed craft beer, lager and cider from our friends at New Lion Brewery and Barnaby’s Brewhouse alongside wine and soft drinks.
