Life at Leicester Rd hasn’t been the same without the Sausage n Cider Festival and with it not running again this year, we have decided to fill this social calendar gap with our Hinckley Summer Festival.

The format will be similar. There will a fantastic selection of artesian sausage ranging from the significantly sized local Farmhouse special! Through to a very fiery Welsh Dragon which may be too hot to handle! Everyone loves a sausage!

We will have over 40 boxed ciders from around the country to tempt your taste buds and bring that sumptuous feeling of summer fun into the heart of Hinckley for a day.

If cider is not your thing, we will have a minimum of 25 top summer real ales sourced from the UK to wash things down.

And for all you gin & tonic lovers we will be offering a selection of rarer and navy gins along with a fine array of many of the popular gins on the market. And if that isn’t enough the fabulous PitcHes bar will be open to serve pretty much anything else you need.

Of course there needs to be some great entertainment on stage so we have a booked a combination of live bands and DJs to entertain you from 12-30pm through to 9.30pm. These will be announced shortly. For details check out Hinckley Summer Festival.

And for those would fancy something a bit different Hinckley RFC will be playing Rochford 100 (Southend) on the adjacent stadium pitch in a pre-season friendly, which will be open to all festival goers.

We expect it to be busy as we know how you Hinckley folk love a good party and everyone loves some Summer Fun in the Sun!!
