Redoubt Fort & 2nd Harwich Town beer festival
The Redoubt Fort has been painstaking restored by volunteers from the Harwich Society and beyond over the past 25 years. What a location for a beer festival!

Four Chelmsford Pubs : The Railway Tavern, The Queen’s Head, The Orange Tree, and The Woolpack. (And a beer festival!)
I had a trip out today to Chelmsford and fitted in three things I’d been looking forward to for some time : visiting the Chelmsford Museum to see it’s new extension; visiting the 12th Chelmsford Winter Beer Festival; and visiting a couple of Good Beer Guide listed Chelmsford pubs. I’ll report back on the museum [...]
