Popular Derbyshire pub cancels May bank holiday weekend beer festival
A beer festival, which was set to be hosted by two popular Derbyshire micropubs, has been cancelled.
The Two Venue Beer Festival, set to be hosted between Thursday, April 30 and Sunday, May 3, at Tom Said Micropub in Ripley and Prospect Street Micropub in Alfreton, has been cancelled.
In a statement published on their Facebook Page, the team at Prospect Street Micropub said: “Unfortunately due to circumstances beyond our control we are going to have to cancel the upcoming beer festival.
"We will be open as usual that weekend and we apologise for getting your hopes up but we still hope you will come have a drink with us that weekend regardless.”
The announcement comes after another sad news shared by the Prospect Street Micropub this month – as the venue is set to close its doors on Sunday, May 3.
The pub is set to be used as a private hire venue in the future.
Tom Said Micropub in Ripley, which is run by the same team, said on Facebook: “Our beer festival which was this weekend is cancelled.
“It’s also the last weekend we will be opening Prospect Street Micropub.
"So if you haven’t already been this is your last opportunity.
"It will be open for special events over the summer but not just as a pub open every weekend.
“Don’t be sad about it because we aren’t. Times change and people move on to other things. Nothing lasts forever.
“Don’t worry though, Tom Said is going nowhere!!!”
