MIDDLEWICH FAB FESTIVAL WELCOMES BACK OLD FAVOURITES!

Plans are forging ahead for this year's MIDDLEWICH FAB FESTIVAL, the Middlewich event which, as the Middlewich Folk & Boat Festival, first propelled the town into the limelight back in 1990.

Over the years our town has seen hundreds of bands, dancers, theatre performers and members of the boating fraternity and their many and varied boats and associated  attractions. A festival with such a long and colourful history is bound to make many friends and this year some old favourites are back to join in the fun...

MAY DAY RE-OPENING FOR THE KINGS LOCK! (ARCHIVED)

Illustration: Cornerstone Inns/The Kings Lock

by Dave Roberts

The Kings Lock Inn, close to the Wardle Canal junction in Booth Lane, has featured before in our Middlewich Diary and it's great to be able to feature it again, this time on an upbeat and optimistic note with the news of the  grand re-opening of the King's Lock on  a very appropriate date, 1st May 2014.
The rebirth of the pub, which has been in a somewhat run-down condition in recent years, comes courtesy of Cornerstone Inns which has a good track record when it comes to revitalising pub premises and also has interests in pubs in Winsford as well as running bars for Middlewich Town Council and the FAB Festival.
The Kings Lock is well-placed to cater for local Middlewich residents and also for thirsty canal users which pass through the lock which gives the pub its name.

You can find out more about the Kings Lock re-opening from our friends at the
