Corris Music Festival
Aug 29th
The rolling hills of southern Snowdonia will rock for 4 nights commencing 2nd September 2010 to the sounds of bands, singing, choirs and general harmless frivolity.
Corris Music Festival again hits the scene of this largely forgotten corner of Wales under the watchful eye of the Mother Mountain – Cadair Idris.
With most of the local venues participating it will be a good community event – made even better by the fact that the annual Corris Show almost coincides next Saturday afternoon.
Everyone is more than welcome to come, join in and be entertained by local musicians aided and abetted by acts from much of Wales from traditional Welsh Choirs to modern electronic strings. the event is varied and ambitious in its scope.
Full details can be found here.
As an added bonus there will also be a mini beer festival at the Braich Goch Inn – an opportunity to sample differing flavours from some carefully chosen micro breweries 
Corris Music Festival
Feb 22nd
The Beer Festival concluded with not a drop left of any of the guest, showcase ales – and not a dry eye in the house either ….
This means that I can get back to my quilting and my fabric shop — BUT, and isn’t there always, the coucil have decided to relay the road surface after the past winter’s freeze.
Therefore access to our shop in Corris Uchaf might be more problematic than usual
If you want to visit (and it shouldn’t put you off as forewarned is forearmed (or longarmed for quilters perhaps)) please phone in advance or use the Contact Us form above.
Or you can always buy you fabrics online with Bumble Bee Quilting’s online shop.
Meanwhile some part of the brain begins to think of the first weekend in Sept 2010 – Corris Music Festival – and, from the current line-up, this promises to be another “cultural” weekend at the Braich Goch Bunkhouse in Corris with again many free events. So book your accommodation early to avoid disappointment and prepare your ears and senses to some wonderment (is that a word in English?) ….
Corris Beer Festival
Feb 19th
As its the Corris Beer Festival this weekend, and we know that you would rather be there than quilting (for shame), we shall be closed on 20 and 21 February 2010
Sorry about that – but its for your own benefit, but so that you don’t damage yourself with a needle having sampled some rather fine ales at the Braich Goch Bunkhouse in Corris
Details of the beer festival can be found here — enjoy and drink responsibly.
Corris Beer Festival ROCKED!!!!!!!!!
Feb 25th
Just thought I’d give you a little insight into Corris’s recent 1st ‘Beer Festival’… It was amazing to be part of it. (though the 12 midday Saturday - 1.30am Sunday was a long stint – my poor feet!!!)
From the Thursday evening – Invited press and local dignitries, to the last pint on Sunday at approx 5.15pm… everyone who came, went home wondering when the next one might be.
There was 12 Real Ales, 7 from Scottish micro breweries and 5 from Wales and live bands & singers on Friday evening and Saturday afternoon & evening which had the place ‘jumping’ from start to finish… check out the website for other photo’s and information for the next one!!! http://www.corrisbeerfestival.co.uk you might like to also check out the Corris Music Festival for later this year http://www.corrisfestival.co.uk
