It’s that time of year again…Cask Ale Week is quickly approaching and this year, we are thrilled to announce our support with celebrations in collaboration with Marston’s Brewery where you can bag yourself a FREE Wainwright Beer t-shirt just for enjoying a few pints!
Taking place from 21st September – 1st October, you’re invited to get involved with the celebrations and support local pubs and breweries.
How do I bag a FREE t-shirt?
JOIN US in any of our participating locations: Inn on the Square Front Bar, the Back Bar, Kings Arms, and the Skiddaw Hotel and receive a free Wainwright Beer t-shirt just for drinking beer!
- Pick up your free loyalty card by simply asking at the bar for a complimentary Cask Ale Week Loyalty Card.
- Order up and collect stamps. For each Marston’s cask ale purchased during Cask Ale week, guests will receive a stamp on their loyalty card.
- Collect five stamps on a loyalty card, then exchange it for a FREE Wainwright Beer t-shirt at any of the 4 participating locations.
Customers are free to gain all 5 stamps in one location or journey around each of our venues for an exciting cask ale bar crawl. This creates the perfect opportunity to explore the different atmospheres and cask ale options that our three character-brimmed hotels have to offer.
We have a wide range of cask ales available such as Hobgoblin, Wainwright Amber, Cumberland, and many others. (Please note that these are subject to change).
Please note – Wainwright Beer T-shirts are limited and when we run out, we are regrettably unable to offer an alternative.
What is Cask Ale Week?
Cask Ale Week is the annual celebration of Britain’s national drink: Cask Ale (or as some call it, Real Ale).
First established by Cask Marque around twenty years ago, this event has continued to be celebrated annually. It is supported by other beer-orientated organisations such as: The British Beer and Pub Association, UK Hospitality, The British Institute of Innkeeping and the Campaign for Real Ale.
Famously a fun-filled event, pubs across the UK can choose to get involved. It provides a great opportunity to discover new brews and show appreciation to firm favourites. Cask Ale Week is a perfect way to socialise with family and friends whilst supporting local business.
What are you waiting for? Call up your fellow beer enthusiasts and put some plans into action!
