Easter 2008 will see the return of the Local Real Ale Festival at the Bear of Rodborough. From March 21st to March 23rd, this mouth-watering event will give you the chance to sample 30 local real ales, traditional ciders and English wines - all from Gloucestershire and surrounding counties. Starting at noon each day, the entrance price is £5 and includes a souvenir tankard, a festival guide and your first half-pint.

As you drain your glasses, be entertained by a varied programme including local Jazz, 60's/70's and the Drunken Brewers, from the local Uley Beer Company. There will also be entertainment from the local morris dancers and bouncy castle for the Children.

Though some may favour a liquid diet, there will be an abundance of delicious food to whet the appetite. Stalls from the local Farmers market will be selling regional produce, homemade delights from the Bears own BBQ and bar food will be available in the hotel all day.

To add to this enjoyment there is a very special festival weekend package - stay for three nights from March 21st to March 23rd for just £55 per person per night.

Based on two people sharing a standard double/twin bedroom, this package includes entrance to the festival each day, dinner and full English breakfast. The only extra is your beer money!!
