DnAuK   10 #29 Posted May 22, 2018 It is closed and won't be in the festival.

As our train gets in about 11:15 we normally start at the Dronfield Arms, which is generally openn at that time. But had a thought about doing the Green Dragon / Mano / Blue Stoops first if any of thise were open early. Each pu8b webite suggests its noon though.

Andy C Â Â 85 #34 Posted June 1, 2018 Are there still feeder buses running from the Old Mother Redcap at Bradway? If so, are they running all day? Also, anyone know if the OMR has re-opened ? Â The Old Mother Redcap opened today at 11am. Â On festival day the feeder buses from Bradway bus terminus to 3 Valleys land are at start of day at 11:43 and 12:03. Â The Old Mother Redcap will be open from 11am if you want a pre-bus beer. Â Additionally the Castle Inn will be open from 9:30am serving bacon sandwiches and full bar service if you want to go there first. If you can't be bothered to walk to the Redcap service bus M17 picks up at the Castle at 11:30am and will convey you to the Redcap for a small fee..

Andy C   85 #36 Posted June 1, 2018 Would Castle be your local . perchance|!|!? Good work!  Their own initiative! Redcap is nearest pub to my home actually.  So routes into 3 Valleys land...  train to Dronfield - all festival bus routes serve the station tram to Halfway - festival bus route A will pick up from the tram terminus feeder bus from Bradway or Ridgeway (trip at start of day) local bus to participating venue  I think we have 15 venues this year, pretty much all making an effort in some way and some impressive set ups have been reported this afternoon!  Latest weather forecast doesn't look too bad either now (overcast, dry and warm). It has been changing on an hourly basis though. Good thing about pub based festivals though - you can go indoors!  As mentioned before, all the beer and cider lists, bands, food and bus routes are online at http://www.3valleys.org.uk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
