Rules of the glass…..
The only rule we insist on is you do not take your ‘glass’ outside on the street. This is a basic health and safety rule for all outside venues. Just carry your glass safe home or to the next ‘Ale Trail’ venue.
The ‘Ale Trail’
Neath has many pubs that love to take part in the festival. The ‘Ale Trail’ will take you to the various venues where you collect stamps for your ‘Ale Trail’ card. Get 6 venue stamps and you will qualify for a free real ale / cider back at the Town Hall!
Music on the ‘Ale Trail’
Almost all our ‘Ale Trail’ venues will be hosting live music. Cross Keys, Allan Leonard Lewis, Gwyn Hall, Ten 21, The Mine, The Castle, The Welsh House/Juniper Place and Neath Rugby Club.
