It is with huge regret that we announce that Patty is leaving us. After 5 years here at The Bricklayer’s Arms she has finally decided to go home to America to spend more time with her family. Needless to say there will be an enormous farewell party here on Saturday night. All are welcome and I know she would love to get the chance to say Goodbye to all her customers and friends before she leaves.

As part of our Derbyshire Beer Festival weekend, we’ve a great line-up of live entertainment

Thursday – Majestic Brass: 7pm
Majestic Brass are a legend at The Bricklayer’s Arms.  They started drinking here in 2005 when they were young, impressionable music students.  They naively approached the bar to ask if they could perform a brass band celebration of Christmas carols in return for a few beers…they never escaped…

Friday – The John Ongom Big Band: 8pm
We make no apologies.  The John Ongom Big Band does exactly what it says on the tin.  They are Benny Goodman, Glenn Miller and Harold Arlen all rolled into one – a spectacular evening.

Saturday – The World Famous Hammersmith Morris Men: 1pm ish
You may have clocked this motley crew at the Thames Festival last week.  They truly are Morris Men Super Heroes. A few of their members were in last night singing rarely heard folk songs at the back table, they had the whole pub cheering by 10pm, it was lovely.

We’re delighted to announce our Derbyshire Beer Festival,

21st-25th September 2011

Weds-Sat : Noon until 11pm
