A POPULAR beer festival in Tatworth has returned for its ninth annual event on Good Friday and Easter Saturday, with a range of Somerset ales, cider and live entertainment.
Over 100 people enjoyed eight Somerset-produced beers, a local cider and a sold-out barbecue at Tatworth Playing Fields.
They were entertained by Nick Fowler’s vinyl night on Friday, and there was live music from indie-folk artist Elijah Wolf on Saturday night.
Tatworth Beer Festival is organized by the Tatworth Playgrounds committee and a group of volunteers.
A spokesperson for the committee said the event was ‘well supported by the village community’ and added: ‘We would like to thank all members of the Tatworth Playing Fields committee and our group of volunteers for making this event such a success.”
Tatworth Playing Fields is a registered charity owned by the village and operated on a voluntary basis by the management committee.
Since the management committee took control of the playgrounds in 1973, tennis courts, a children’s play area and a safe route to school have been added.
One of the tennis courts was then adapted into a MUGA sports surface.
The committee does not receive board funding and is a self-funded charity.
The next Tatworth Playing Fields Annual General Meeting (AGM) will take place in June.
