Staveley Beer Festival – Beer, Gurning and Music

Every year the Eagle & Child holds a beer festival on the first May Bank Holiday. This year this coincided with the end of Rebecca and Mina’s visit, so we thought they should be entertained with true Cumbrian culture… 😉

There was plenty of choice of beer (and cider) which helped loosen the inhibitions for the evening’s entertainment. We were definitely entertained!

Festival visitors were cajoled into entering the gurning competition, children and adults alike. We hadn’t downed enough beer by this point to be courageous enough to take part. But perhaps we should have looking at this lot…

The face Mina should have entered!

The gurning was followed by a live band, who were fantastic.
