Hartlepool Rugby Club is preparing to welcome hundreds of visitors to its 11th Annual Hootenanny & Beer Festival at 2pm this Sunday, 30 August.
The Bank Holiday weekend event has become a fixture in the town’s social calendar, bringing together friends, families and visitors for a day of live music, craft beers, street food and community spirit.
Held at Hartlepool Rugby Club on Easington Road, the Hootenanny features a programme of live entertainment featuring DJ Fake Charles, Bradley Frank, Charlea B, Mixtape Energy, Roughcut and Next Stop Vegas, providing music throughout the afternoon and evening.
Festival-goers can enjoy a carefully selected range of craft beers and ciders, alongside a dedicated gin bar and standard lagers & ciders. A selection of street food vendors, including Greek and Thai cuisine, will be serving freshly prepared food throughout the day, with more vendors set to be announced.
Liam Lester, from Hartlepool Rugby Club, said: “It’s incredible to think we’re celebrating our 11th Hootenanny. What started as a tiny beer festival has grown into one of the biggest community events in Hartlepool, bringing hundreds of people together every year. The Hootenanny is about so much more than great music and great beer. It’s about creating memories. Whether you’re a regular or coming for the first time, there’s something special about the atmosphere that keeps people coming back year after year.”
