Hi All,
On behalf of The Castle Players in Barnard Castle, I
would like to thank those who took part in their Yearly Beer Naming for their
Summer Production of Shakespeare in the Grounds of The Bowes Museum.

over 50 entrees & The Name chosen is Agincourt Ale, a 4.0% golden
hoppy beer. 3 entrees chose this :- Jo Bird, Chris Johnson also Jim & Jess
Dale. They were invited to the launch of the beer at The Old
Well. Jo came & added the hops to the brew.

this Tuesday’s performance of the play
The Castle Players, a community theatre
company based in Barnard Castle, have been producing major outdoor theatre
productions for over 21 years. The inspiration for starting The Castle Players
came during a game of Charades, which took place during a blackout in The Old
Well Inn.
This year The Castle Players present
Shakespeare’s epic retelling of Henry’s victorious reign and famous victory at
Agincourt, directed by Laurence Sach, who recently directed Pride and Prejudice
for The Castle Players winter touring production.
The Castle Players are delighted to be able
to continue to celebrate their summer production with a special Real Ale
produced by local award winning micro-brewery Mithril Ales at Aldbrough St
John. Pete Fenwick from Mithril Ales said “I first brewed a special beer for
The Castle Players in 2012 which was called ‘The Castle Players Ale, beer As
You Like It.’ I like to support the arts locally and their excellent
productions bring Shakespeare alive in the grounds of The Bowes Museum.”
Henry V runs from Tuesday 5th- Saturday 9th
July in the grounds of the Bowes Museum, Barnard Castle. Tickets are on sale
now from The Witham Box Office, on line from www.castleplayers.co.uk or from 01833
