The third Newclose Beer Festival will take place on Saturday 28th June and Sunday 29th June (from 12 noon on both days). Newclose’s 250-seater marquee will be available in the event of inclement weather.

 

Entrance will be £10 which will provide: the event Programme (detailing the 24 beers and 4 ciders) that will be on offer; a rigid-plastic Beer mug; and your 1st pint; advance booking is not required.

 

Beer tokens, each buying a half-pint, will also be available to purchase at £2.50 each.

 

For non-beer drinkers there will be wine available in the marquee – as well as a wide range of alcoholic beverages in the Newclose Pavilion; pasties, sausage rolls, hot dogs and chips (as well as vegetarian options) will also be available.

 

Entrance will be either through the main gates to Newclose on the A3056 (a mile outside Newport) or from the Newport to Sandown cycle track.

 

Southern Vectis routes 2 and 3 pass by with a Newclose bus stop immediately outside the ground. There is also ample car parking at Newclose.

 

On the Saturday there will be a cricket match between Newport 2nd XI and Shanklin & Godshill 2nd XI (starting at 1:00pm) and on the Sunday there’s a memorial match for the late Martin Poynter from 2:00pm. Martin, who died ten years ago, was a stalwart and much-loved member of Newport Cricket Club and the Poynter family have a long association with the club.

 

Newclose is Disability Discrimination Act compliant; well behaved dogs (on leads) will be most welcome - with water bowls provided.

 

The trustees hope you will pay Newclose a visit and look forward to welcoming you.
