Welcome to paradise!
Three Pints a day keeps the Aliens away!
Campers at the Barge Inn will be delighted to hear that finally a solution has been found to the long standing issue of alien abductions from the pub’s campsite.
On April 16th , Honeystreet Ales will be launching their Alien Abduction beer, a specially brewed green beer with proven alien repelling powers.
The beer has been developed at Honeystreet Ales top secret Wiltshire brewing facility and due to the rarity of its natural active ingredient it will only be available in limited quantities. Fortunately for Barge Inn customers supplies will arrive in time for the May – June peak abduction season. (See Argy Bargy News)
Prof. Vogelheim says: “Exceeding the recommended daily allowance of Alien Abduction ale may result in
unwanted side affects.
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES OPERATE HEAVY MACHINERY.“
Hardy, regular visitors will miss the ‘historic’ loos and showers that have now been demolished. The building of the brand new facilities has been delayed a little, so we have installed a temporary loo & shower-block for this season (they are though an improvement over the originals.)
All are welcome; bikers, hikers, pilgrims, aliens, wondering minstrels et al. Whilst everyone knows our campsite is a “bit of a show site”; new visitors will be pleased to hear there is no membership or booking fee. However, because of the large number of pre-booked groups that we are hosting this year it's probably best to call ahead to check availability. Just call the on-site warden, Geoff, on 07586 574246 (or, if he is not available, the pub during opening hours on 01672 851705). You can take a chance and just turn up and we will do our best to accomodate you on a ‘first come, first served basis’, but there is no guarantee.
Also this year, we have a huge fire pit that you can use - Geoff will be delighted to sell you some decent wood! Or bring your own traditional BBQ (but please, no oil drums or brassieres, Oops... I meant braziers!). The campsite is over an acre and we have room for 50+ tents and about 5 caravans.
Camping Costs:- £6.50 per person, per night. Children under 12yrs are FREE. Caravans/motor-homes £15 per night (inc. 2 persons), additional persons at £6.50 pppn
