Doors open 6pm-11pm on Friday 17th October and 1pm-11pm on Saturday 18th October.

It's at the Pollyfield Community Centre, Avon Road, Bideford EX39 4BL. (The main community centre bar will also be open for anyone wanting soft drinks, lager, wine etc.)

Every penny raised will go to help the East-The-Water Community Food Pantry and other local good causes.

Bus 15/15A will get you up the hill from Bideford Quay to Avon Road... or walk up through the Pollyfield to help build up a thirst!
