Thanks to everyone who pre-ordered ale, this gives the elves a head start on packaging your gifts.

We are open from 1pm on Friday and 12pm on Saturday and I am really looking forward to the weekend and it’s a long one.

I will put up this weekend’s beers for walk-in with some of the limited edition small batch dark ales which we saved, limited to 2 pint take outs, later on today.

Barn Dance
2023-09-16 15:00 - 20:00 | Hampshire
back by popular demand and this will be our 3rd year, Murpheys Lore is a Bournemouth/Dorset based ‘Celtic’ band, performing a mix of traditional Irish, English and Scots music plus a few tunes of our own, composed by our ‘box’ player Richard and arranged as we went along! For ceilidhs, barn dances, pub gigs and general good craic. Perfect in many ways for weddings, parties, an anniversary or any excuse to have a Hooley. Have a look around and get a feel for what we do.

We perform tunes to dance to and songs to sing along with. If you don’t know the dances, our caller will teach you. If you don’t know the songs, just tap your feet and clap your hands!
