Andy C   86 #64 Posted February 1, 2017 (edited) That's going to be "interesting", I guess a few people will end up walking to Meadowhall  Not sure why that would be, the X1 is a double decker and runs every half hour in the evening. The festival is also smaller than previous years (the big hall isn't part of it this year) reflecting the attendance at the previous one held in summer 2015.  Travel and ticket info is on the festival website here: http://www.magnarealale.uk/tickets.php  Should still be a good festival with a range of over 150 different beers plus cider and wine along with a busy programme of live music. I'll be there as volunteer staff at the weekend.  ---------- Post added 13-02-2017 at 18:30 ----------  It has now been announced a special festival shuttle bus will run from Meadowhall to Magna, operated by Powells Edited February 1, 2017 by Andy C Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
