Wattle & Riff

Stripped-down, emotional and groove-driven; think Mississippi Delta meets Outback ruggedness. With Darren Mather and Gazza T Jones, joined on occasions by Sam Benson (bass/guitar) and Phil Brown (drums and percussion), Wattle & Riff are a New Tradition Blues / Country Blues / Acoustic Soul combo with a rustic texture and pure suburban musical grit.

Food

Real Belgian Fries pride themselves on creating high-quality, authentic Belgian delicacies. You can taste delicious, twice-cooked fries with a choice of 10 different sauces. Plus, create a tasty meal from Belgian waffles, curry sausage, beef bites, cheese bites, chicken bites, vegetable croquettes, and pork and bacon skewers.

Hill Top Farm will be bringing a hog roast to the Carriage Circle to complement your beer, and you can tuck into ice cream, popcorn, snacks and soft drinks from the Hartlebury Castle snack station if you’ve still got room!
