Join us at the Crown Inn for week long festivities to celebrate National Cask Ale Week.

We’ll be celebrating National Cask Ale week with a selection of unmissable events culminating in an attempt to to enter the Guinness Book of Records for the largest toast in the world to our National Drink – Cask Ale.

Monday 6th April -  It’s National Beer Day – Real Ale is our National Drink.  Drink a pint today and call on the Government to recognise this fact and celebrate our National Drink with a National Holiday!

Tuesday 7th April – FemALE Day – Only 16% of ladies have tried Real Ale, apparently!  We believe it’s many, many more!!
So, come on ladies, come and try some for yourselves – don’t forget, we can give you a free sample of Real Ale, to try before you buy!

Thursday 9th April – “Introduce a Friend Day”, so bring someone along to try our award-winning Real Ales and enjoy the fantastic music of Martin Everson One-Man Blues Band – You’ll wonder where all the music is coming from as Martin manages to play so many instruments.

Saturday 11th April -  As it’s Easter Weekend, it’s time for a Baking Competition.  We’re looking for the best Hot Crossed Buns in Oakengates.  Don’t forget to bake for 4 p.m. Saturday – let’s see who’s a Master Baker!!  The awards will be given out on Saturday just before…….

The world’s biggest toast!
At 7pm on Saturday 11 April 2009 over 6,000 venues across the UK will try to smash the World Record for the Largest Toast.
The current record stands at 485,000 people.The simultaneous toast will celebrate Britain’s national drink – cask ale – and wrap up a week-long festival that is National Cask Ale Week.
