As with previous years there will be a bus doing a circuit from the Waters Green Tavern to the beer festival and back. It starts just before each session and will continue until after the end of each session. It will probably take 15-20 minutes to do a circuit depending on traffic.
Please note the bus will stop on the main road outside the entrance to the Rugby Club and not outside the marquee.
