Pub Entertainment Programme
Entertainment
We offer regular live entertainment, most often on a Saturday night and Sunday afternoon.
A list of upcoming events can be found below, though it is well worth keeping an eye on our facebook page for up-to-the-minute news as the programme is subject to change.
Friday Night - Open The Box
Every Friday from 8:30pm, the Castle Inn presents... 'Open the Box'!
Buy a ticket (£1 per go, all for the prize fund), and if your ticket is pulled out of the hat you get to choose a key... if that key opens the box, you scoop the kitty! If not, we roll over to the following week.
Tickets on sale from midday every Friday. Important note: to take part, you MUST be on the premises when the ticket draw takes place.
Sunday Quiz Night
Also not to be missed is our regular Sunday night general knowledge quiz... not to be taken too seriously, the quality of the banter is often of a higher pedigree than the knowledge displayed!
