🍻❤️ AND THAT'S A WRAP ON DAY FOUR... ❤️🍻
What a weekend?!

From packed beer gardens and busy bars to live music, amazing food, brilliant independent businesses and thousands of pints enjoyed across the trail, Abbeydale Road has once again shown what a special place it is.

A huge thank you to everyone who took part, visited a venue, collected stamps, volunteered, performed, worked behind a bar, cooked, stewarded, sponsored, supported or simply helped spread the word.

Special thanks to 7 Hills Security for helping keep everything running smoothly throughout the weekend, and to all of the incredible venue teams who have worked flat out to make the festival happen.

🏆 Missed prize collection?
Festival HQ is now closed, but the Abbeydale Ballroom has the remaining posters for anyone who completed the trail and hasn't yet collected theirs.

We'll have plenty more photos, stories and thank-yous to share over the coming days, but for now:
🍺 Cheers, Abbeydale Road.
See you next year. ❤️
