#WOOFUK

The bars will be open from 12pm - 11pm on both days.

While entrance to Woofstock is free, however, we will be charging £1 for your glassware/plastic-ware - this way we make at least £1 per person, plus it is the incentive to bring your glass back to the bar for washing!

Parking

Parking is limited in Yarwell so if you find the space to park on the road, please keep to the pub side of the street so that larger vehicles can pass through the village without any inconvenience.

We have secured additional parking behind the Village Hall (opposite side of the road to the pub and about three 'doors' futher 'up the hill'. Please ensure that if using this area that you continue through the gates and park sensibly to ensure we capitalise on that area space-wise the best we can. Please do not park on any of the allotments.

(and children) are most welcome at Woofstock. Poop bags and fresh water will always be available (for the dogs!).

If you want to give your dog a 'break' from the festival - the Nene Way walking route is just a 2min walk from the pub (turn left as exiting the pub and walk down to the corner of the village. When you are facing 'Yarwell Manor' take the cheeky footpath to your left - this will take you down to the River Nene.

Food & Drink

Woofstock plays host to a mini beer and cider festival - there will be c16 real ales being served from The Angel 'Out' and around 18 (including bottles and draught) ciders on the go (as stocks last) from the 'Inn'side bar. All other bar service is as 'normal'.

PLEASE RESPECT THAT WHILE THIS IS A FREE EVENT, ANYONE FOUND TO BE CONSUMING BEVERAGES NOT PURCHASED ON THE PREMISES WILL BE ASKED TO LEAVE (BABIES AND DOGS THE EXCEPTION!)

Our normal food service is replaced by the BBQ  - this will be fired up in the beer garden with burgers and sausages on the go from 1pm through to 9pm (or thereabouts), again as stocks last!

​

IMPORTANT NOTE: It's a long weekend - pace yourself, in the interest of keeping a pleasant atmosphere, we will refuse to sell alcohol to anyone who seems to have 'had enough', plus,we will also eject anyone who is disruptive in any way.

Remember, this is our home - you will be asked to leave if you are unable to respect that.
