Bristol’s biggest pub beer festival is back this Spring

Posted on: 08 Feb 2023

Beer lovers will have the chance to join the Llandoger team in bringing historic King Street inn The Llandoger Trow back to its full glory one pint at a time.

 

Llandoger Trow Spring Beer Fest runs from Thursday 6 until Sunday 9 April.

 

Free to attend for locals and visitors, the Llandoger Trow Spring Beer Festival will be stocked with more than 25 cask beers, 25 keg beers and 15 ciders, all sourced from quality producers from across Bristol and beyond.

 

More information and updates on the festival can be found over on the pub's Facebook page.

Dating back to 1664, The Llandoger Trow is an iconic public house steeped in history, located on Bristol's beloved King Street.

 

The pub is said to have been the inspiration for Robert Louis Stephenson's fictional drinking hole the Admiral Benbow Inn in Treasure Island, while Daniel Defoe was supposedly drinking inside the pub when he chanced upon Alexander Selkirk, the inspiration for the famed fictional castaway Robinson Crusoe.

 

Having survived damage during the Second World War, the Llandoger remained in good enough condition to be recognised as a Grade II Listed building in the late 1950s.

After closing briefly in 2019, The Llandoger Trow has since found new owners and reopened its doors in June 2021, going from strength to strength since then with a new first-floor space opened recently.

 

With a massive outside seating area and a cosy interior, The Llandoger also host regular events. Every Friday and Saturday, the pub takes inspiration from some of Berlin’s best techno clubs and bars to present ‘TECHNO at the Trow’.

 

The pub also hosts ‘CROTCH’, one of Bristol’s favourite queer club nights. Attendees can expect garage, jungle, techno, experimental and disco sexiness from a range of special guest DJs from the city’s wonderful queer community. This is an inclusive club night for seasoned party-heads.

Llandoger Trow Spring Beer Fest runs from Thursday 6 until Sunday 9 April with 25 cask beers, 25 keg beers ad 15 ciders to choose from. Follow The Trow on Facebook for more information.
