Dates have been set for the 2025 Wolverhampton Summer Festival of Beer and Cider.

It will be running in the Newhampton Arts Centre in Dunkley Street from July 24 to 26.

This year the Dudley & South Staffordshire branch hopes to work closely with the Wolverhampton branch to support this Black Country summer festival and encourage their members to help with the Dudley Winter Ales Fayre as the Black Country's winter festival.

Branch members will be welcomed to help with setting up and volunteering at the summer event. We also hope to share skills between the two festivals.

The next planning meeting for the summer festival is taking place upstairs at the Lych Gate Tavern in Queen Square, Wolverhampton on Sunday, February 23 at 4pm.

The first planning meeting for DWAF 2025 is on Tuesday, January 28 in the Courthouse, Dudley at 7pm.

Dates for DWAF will be November 27 to 29 - once again in Dudley Town Hall.

Any branch members that would like to help will be welcome at the January 28 meeting.
