Galtres Festival of beer and cider, live music, food and fun

The Forest of Galtres Festival 2006 will be four fantastic festivals all in one, building on the success of last year's festival in Crayke, but this year moving to the splendid setting of Sutton Park Stately Home in Sutton-on-the-Forest, a few miles north of York.

Festival of beers and ciders

Drawing on the delectable brews from North Yorkshire's 20 or so independent breweries and cider houses, we'll be choosing 40 or more barrels for you to work your way through during the day. All will be in prime condition, served straight from the firkin and cooled in the traditional manner using hessian sacking and water. As well as the real ales, a few real lagers and milds will be included in the list, together with some fine Yorkshire scrumpy, cider and perry. We'll have a wine and soft drinks bar too.

Festival of music and dance

Last year's festival turned into a right old stomp thanks to some excellent musicians and performers, and this year will be no exception - we'll have a full programme of entertainment including everything from traditional dance and folk music to jazz, acoustic and rock - keep checking here for details of the line-up or sign-up for updates by email here.

Festival of food

Come prepared for a feast! We'll be serving up delicious dishes throughout the day, all sourced from local farmers and suppliers. We'll have an Ox Roast from Sutton Park's own dexter herd, a veggie deli, pizza workshops, some ethic foods and lots more. This event forms part of the annual York Festival of Food and Drink, and is also part of British Food Fortnight.

Festival of fun

The Galtres Festival will be a great day out for all the family. As well as Sutton Park's own play area we'll be organising games and workshops throughout the day for children and teenagers - likely to include storytelling, face painting, cooking, dance, music and documentary-making. There's loads of space to run around at Sutton Park, and we'll even book an ice cream van. Local ice cream, of course!
