We are keen to try and use locally produced products wherever possible. We always try to have one brew from the Ulverston Brewery Company (always named after a Laurel and Hardy theme),Thwaites Original (a well liked session ale) and four other ales predominately from the local area. The pump clip on the right is for Celebration Ale-a brew specifically for the unveiling of the Laurel & Hardy statue in April 2009

Coniston 14:- A lovely run around the shores of Lake Coniston
May:-Brathay 10 in 10, A good old slog around Lake Windermere 10 times in 10 days, only for the truly foolish!
Flag fortnight. A colourful spectacle of over 200 home made flags fluttering in the gales from buildings all over the town centre.
WindermereMarathon:- Also known as The Brathay Marathon, very scenic and very tough marathon around the Lake Windemere. Not for the faint hearted
July:-Furness Folk Festival. Celebrating dancing, music and local crafts. Usually accompanied with a special brew from Stuart at the Foxfield Brewery. This month the North LonsdaleAgricultural Show takes place. I believe it's situated on the Bardsea Road. Also the Ulverston Carnival takes place on the first saturday in July. An event that is usually celebrated with the arrival of The Sons Of The Desert tent from Birmingham and occasionally Stan & Ollie lookalikes.
August:- My Birthday 21 again, Richards Birthday also 21 again- and no we are not twins just friends who happen to be the same age.
September:-The Lantern Procession. If the weather behaves, an evening of rivers of light weaving through the streets of Ulverston bringing to an end the celebration of Ulverstons Charter Festival, a two week long celebration with lots happening in the town including one of the most important events of the year. The Ulverston Beer Festival, takes place in The Coronation Hall and is a roaring sucess with bands on some nights and food available. Takes place during the first week of September.
November:-The Dickensian Festival. A weekend family event with festive stalls, street entertainment and lots of Victorian costumes to enjoy. Dressing up is a must for this very popular weekend.
