We are running a minibus to the Dudley Winter Ales Fayre on Friday 27 November 2026 to include a mystery trip on the way back, leaving mid-morning, with exact timing and pickup locations to be advised in due course. . To secure a place you will need to pay \u00a320 deposit. The final cost will be calculated once we know exact numbers and the cost of fuel, so there might be a small surcharge. Please click or scan the QR code to purchase a ticket. Note that the \u00a320 ticket price DOES NOT include entrance to the Fayre, which is free to CAMRA members, \u00a310 for non-members.
