The annual Ballards Walk will be on Sunday December 6 this year; once again, we’re organising a bus to get you there.

We’ll start at the brewery, where the full range of beers should be on sale, including the new Old Bounder ale which weighs in at around 9%! (Drink responsibly: if you fall in a ditch someone’s bound to take a photo and send it to the Sussex Drinker…)

Afterwards, you’re free to walk across fields or roads to the local pubs, where more beer will be available. The bus will be picking up from some of these at around 3, and will probably be stopping at a couple more on the way home.

Pickup locations and times are yet to be confirmed, but should be Worthing, Littlehampton, Yapton, Barnham and Chichester; the ticket price is £8 and you can book by contacting Pete Brown on (01243) 552908.
