☀️ **THE FINAL WEEK OF THE SUMMER HOLIDAYS!** ☀️

And we've somehow managed to squeeze **five very different reasons to visit The Cricks** into it… 😂❤️

🧠 **THURSDAY – QUIZ NIGHT | 8PM**
Get the team together, test your knowledge and see if you can survive the wipeout!

🎤 **FRIDAY – CHLOE ANNE | 8PM**
If you came to either of our music festivals, you'll already know how brilliant Chloe is. She went down an absolute storm, so we couldn't resist getting her back for a full Friday night! 🎶

🎒 **SATURDAY – SUN HILL NEW STARTERS MEET & GREET | 1–3PM**
A relaxed afternoon for the new Sun Hill families to meet, the children to play and everyone to put some faces to names before the big first day. ❤️

🍽️ **SUNDAY – ROASTS | 12–4PM**
A slightly calmer day! Proper Sunday roasts, cold drinks and hopefully another afternoon in the garden.

🤍🏝️ **BANK HOLIDAY MONDAY – IBIZA PARTY | FROM 12PM**
And then we're finishing the holidays with a BIG one…

🥘 Paella
🎷 Chilled sax covers
🫧 Bubble party
🏐 Beach volleyball
🏰 Inflatables
🏖️ Sand pits
📸 Ibiza photo booths
🍹 Cocktails & ice-cold beers
🤍 **Wear white to join in!**

It's been such a fun summer at The Cricks — festivals, beach parties, live music, bouncing, bubbles and plenty of slightly chaotic family days in the garden. 😂

So for the **last week of the holidays**, let's make the most of it.

**Our community. Our families. Our pub. ❤️
Let's finish the summer holidays together!** ☀️🍻

☀️🤍 **ONE LAST SUMMER PARTY… IBIZA STYLE!** 🤍☀️

The summer holidays have been pretty special at The Cricks, so there was only one way to finish them… one last big day in the garden 🥳

🏝️ **BANK HOLIDAY MONDAY – 31ST AUGUST** 🏝️

We’re bringing a little bit of Ibiza to Alresford for the **final event of the summer holidays**.

🥘 Giant paella cooking outside
🍹 Cocktails & ice-cold beers
🎷 Chilled sax covers
🎶 Ibiza classics & laid-back summer tunes
🫧 **BUBBLE PARTY!**
🏐 Beach volleyball
🏖️ Sand pits
🏰 Inflatables
📸 Ibiza-style photo booths
🍦 And plenty for the kids

And because it wouldn't be Ibiza without it…

🤍 **WEAR WHITE TO JOIN IN!** 🤍

This is very much chilled Ibiza, by the way. Sunshine, sax, bubbles and good tunes — no thudding bass upsetting half of Alresford, we promise 😂

Come down from 12pm, grab some food, find a spot in the garden and spend the last event of the summer with us.

☀️ Good food. Cold drinks. Kids entertained. Chilled tunes. Hopefully lots of sunshine.

**Let’s end the summer holidays in style. 🤍**

See you at the Cricks! 🫧☀️🍻

🍺🏆 **WE’VE GOT CASK MARQUE!** 🏆🍺

**The Cricketers Inn is officially Cask Marque accredited!** 🙌

That means our cask ales have been independently checked for quality, temperature, appearance, aroma and taste — and we passed with the top marks, 5/5!!! 🍻

We put a lot of care into keeping and serving a great pint, so it’s lovely to have the official seal of approval.

**Great beer, properly kept and properly poured.**
We’ll drink to that! 🍺❤️

From 12 noon:�🍦 Fish & chips, ice creams & cocktails�🏖️ Giant sandpits, beach-themed activities & photo booth�🎉 Fun for all ages
🎤 The Covergirlz take to the stage at 3pm�🫏 The donkeys arrive at 3:30pm (yes... actual donkeys!)�🍹 And we'll keep the party going right through until 1am.

🍽️ Sunday�Finish the weekend properly with one of our famous Sunday roasts.
Choose from beef, chicken, gammon... or all three! Served with all the trimmings, plenty of gravy, delicious homemade puddings and child-friendly portions.
