Bites, Beats and Bars Festival
Make a date for a Bank Holiday event with a difference in beautiful Tavistock this August.The Bites, Beats and Bars Festival will be held in the historic heart of the town - The Butcher's Hall and Guildhall carpark- and will feature a fantastic array of tipples to taste at not just one bar, but three!
Some 20 different gins will be available at the gin bar - and in addition, local distillers will be attending the event and providing samples of their wonderful products. If gin isn't your thing, what about bubbles? A prosecco bar will be available for a Bank Holiday celebration of fizz and for hop lovers, craft ales aplenty will be on offer at the ale bar.
To accompany such a splendid selection of beverages, a wide variety of street food sellers will be on hand to tempt the palate; many local producers have already been booked for the festival, with more lining up to attend, so you're sure to find your ideal snack.And it wouldn't be a festival without music - live performances featuring a mixture of jazz and modern music will be taking place throughout the day. So far Louise Parker and Spanish guitarist Mark Barnwell are the confirmed artistes, with extra acts waiting in the wings.
