This September we are welcoming you all back for our first club organised festival since September 2019, I know...that's ages.
We are hoping to make this years festival our biggest one yet so have combined two of the South Wests favourite things, Gin and Cider. Like every year, we will be bringing you over 20 guest ciders to chose from, all served from our purpose built outside cider bar. As well as guest cider, there will be guest gin for all the gin lovers out there. Our gin will be available in pre-set cocktails or paired with your choice of tonic / mixer.
Now, it wouldn't be a festival without any music would it? That's why we have 3 acts taking to the stage from 5:30pm onwards. Lewis Leighton kicks off the music with an acoustic set covering classics from across the ages. Next we have the wonderful M&A Acoustic Duo, known for getting the crowd involved and pumping, they'll be performing between 7:30 and 9pm. Finally, our headliner, The 7-8-9's. The Bristol based band will headline the festival and play us out with some dance floor filling classic covers.
Food will be available, we have already secured the services of "Coffee Cottage Catering" who serve a variety of food from Pork Rolls and Burgers to Doughnuts and Candy Floss. You may recognise these guys if you are a local as they are often serving the Keynsham public from their van in the KRFC Carpark. Hidden Pizza Ltd are also going to be serving you up some authentic Italian pizzas, wood-fired. Personally, super excited to try these guys' food, it looks incredible. And yes, of course there will be an icecream van.
For the parents...keep the kids entertained whilst you sip on cider in the sun with our 70ft Bouncy Castle Assault Course. The Assault Course will be completely free to use. As well as the Assault Course, the hugely popular Dreams & Things from 2019's festival make their return. Dreams & Things are experts in everything glitz and glam and will get the kids (and adults!) looking their glamourous best.
In partnership with Lockerstash we will be helping to support sustainability in rugby by offering a "Stash Swap" stand where you can swap old sports kit for tokens redeemable at the festival. As well as this Lockerstash will be selling pre-loved stash throughout the day at bargain prices.
Before the festival truly commences, KRFC 1XV will host Newent in their first home league game of the 2022/23 season. This promises to be a cracking game of rugby, following last seasons results against the same opposition. In the last meeting, our boys came out on the right end of a 27-10 scoreline. The 3XV will also be playing host to St. Mary's Old Boys in a pre-season friendly match.
