DEER SHED FESTIVAL: Almost here, almost sold out, but what to eat???

Deer Shed Festival: Almost Here, Almost Sold Out, But What To Eat???

Only a couple of weeks before our favourite festival gets underway. As well as loads of great bands and fun things to do for the kids, which we’ve already told you about, there is loads of food, food, food……….. (and drink!!!)

Also there are only a few hundred tickets left so you’d best get off your sofas and get them sorted. Over to the Deer Shed people……….

It’s that time of year when we tempt you with our festival food and drink offerings.

As always at Deer Shed Festival we will have a great session cask ale on sale at £3 per pint, chilled down and in great condition. All this year’s beer is coming from the lovely folks at York Brewery. We’ve also got Vines wine bar serving up champers by the lake P-O-S-H posh.
