Not to be missed exploration of all the interesting and new pubs on either side of the River Irwell led by our champion ale trail curator, Craig Papworth.

Expect some or all of the following to be included:


The New Oxford, The New Oxford


The Kings Arms, The Kings Arms


Gas Lamp, The Gas Lamp

and a new pub on the site of the former Granada Studios' "Rovers Return"

Full details to follow but it is expected that we will catch the 11:26am train from Chester.

Make sure you've got this one in your diary as it's likely to be special.
