Branch Diary
- Towcester Social Saturday 28th June
Saturday 28 June 2025
Towcester Mill Brewery
Afternoon,
This months social is in Towcester on Saturday 28th June.
Starting at the Towcester Mill Brewery, Towcester Mill, Chantry Ln, Towcester NN12 6YY at 12pm, then onto the Plough, then Watling Street Village with optional trips to The Bull or Saracens Head after depending on time, ending at the Brave Old Oak.
Bit confusing where the buses go to and from in Towcester, the Stagecoach website says it stops outside the racecourse which is a fair walk into town, but then their timetable says it goes all the way into Towcester and goes from outside the last pub on the list! If anyone knows any better than me please let me know...either way you'll need the Stagecoach X91.
The Point Stop H4 10.59 MK Station Stop Z6 11.07 Into Towcester around 12 Return journey is from the Brave Old Oak (apparently), the last two buses are 17.06 and 18.38.
Hope to see you all there!
Cheers, Dave.
