The Crown & Sceptre, Freehouse

Home to Rodda Thomas, your Landlord. The Crown and Sceptre has had a huge makeover. The pub is now more of a traditional, community local pub. We have four real ales available including two provided by local brewery Uley Ales, one by Stroud Brewery and a rotating guest beer.

Enjoy a chat, bar billiards, a relaxing newspaper read, perhaps a board game. On Tuesdays evenings our own Knitting group meet around our big table for "Knit and Natter", or if you are into motorbikes come and meet like minded individuals and maybe join our very own Motorcycle Society.

We have the full Sky / ESPN package and can show ALL Televised Football, Rugby and Cricket matches in HIGH DEFINITION !

Welcome to Gastronomika

Crown & Sceptre Country Fair 2012
Plus Beer & Cider Festival (31st August 1st & 2nd September)

We are in the process of planning for this years Fair. We have tried to take on the suggestions for extra classes in the Fair, and there are also some changes to last years format.

As of last year, there will be greater utilisation of the marquee during the weeks before the Fair with, a photo exhibition, and children’s workshops being suggested. We will keep you posted as ideas firm up.

As for the fair itself, it will broadly follow last years format, with music and food from Friday through to Sunday with the Country Fair itself on the Saturday. The most significant addition so far is for a group entry for allotment associations. This will entail exhibiting a group of 6 vegetables displayed on a board.
It will be open to any allotment association, the number of entrants will be initially limited to 8 due to lack of space. So get your groups entry in early to avoid disappointment.
If you want to help in some way, or have any suggestions, please contact Rodda, Martyn, Katie or Karen. Please be prepared to organise anything you suggest as we already have our hands full.

Schedule and Entry Forms will be available to download from the pub website and in the pub itself. There will be a post box in the pub to post them into, and closer to the event someone will be available (on Saturday afternoons) to take entries and give advice.

If we get over-subscribed in any class we will restrict the number of entries, so please enter as soon as possible to avoid disappointment.
In any event, we will take entries up until Sunday the 26th August 2012 and NO LATER in order to avoid difficulties
Last year we raised £600 for the pub charities, and hope to exceed that this year. So, leave a space in your calendar and join us to continue building a great community event.
