Explore ‘Warwick's 14 pubs of Christmas' in new festive ale trail

‘Warwick’s 14 Pubs of Christmas’ trail encourages people to tick off 14 venues, with a prize draw on December 22.

Locals and visitors can pick up either a card or beer mat from any of the participating venues, then get it stamped each time they visit any of the pubs or bars on the list.

The trail can be completed across the festive season up until December 21.

Any drink – including non-alcoholic beverages – also count for a stamp.

Those who get all 14 stamps will be entered into a draw, with prizes ranging from a trip to Warwick races to brewery selection boxes.

Prizes will be available to collect on December 22/23.

Here’s a list of the venues taking part:

~ Cape of Good Hope

~ The Eagle

~ The Fourpenny Shop Pub & Hotel

~ The Old Coffee Tavern

~ The Oak

~ The Globe

~ The Wild Boar

~ The Tilted Wig

~ The Roebuck

~ The Rose & Crown

~ Ronnie’s Bar

~ The Old Post Office

~ Warwick Real Ale

~ The King’s Head

The trail has been organised by Chris Proudfoot, landlord at the Old Fourpenny Shop Pub & Hotel, and Tim Maccabee, landlord at The Eagle.

Chris said: “Warwick has a brilliant range of pubs and bars, and while the festive season is usually a busy time, we’re keen to show off exactly how many great places we have for a drink all year round.

“Warwick’s 14 pubs of Christmas is a bit of fun that people can get involved in over the next few weeks and visit some of their favourite watering holes as well as some new places they’ve never been to before.

"We actually originally planned to have 12 Pubs of Christmas to echo the 12 Days of Christmas, but everyone loved the idea so much we expanded it to get as many people involved as possible.

“We’re hoping this initial idea will lead to bigger things in 2023 including a more formal Ale Trail and maybe a venue guide.”
