Weekender at the Wilkes Head, Leek

Hi all! There will be a bit of a do at the Wilkes Head, 16 St Edward Street, Leek, Staffordshire, ST13 5DS on the 1st and 2nd March 2008. Big heated marquee and stage/p.a. in the yard, and acoustic sessions in the pub all weekend. Great beer from Whim Ales, among others. The pub is well known for its atmosphere and great craic. There will be a 'young musicians and singers' session in the bottom room of the pub too. Concert on the Saturday night (entry around £2.50) featuring showcased talent and (topping the bill) the utterly wonderful Isambarde! Anyone who has been to the summer 'do's' at the Wilkes; this is less 'rocky' and much more folky. No drumkit, small p.a, not using the big stage, and an acoustic sort of feel. Hope to see you there.

Is there anywhere to stay over night in a campervan?

Hi Carol; it's a town centre pub, but there are a number of caravan sites outside the town, including two at Blackshaw Moor.
