💡 August’s Pub Spotlight: The Barge Inn 💡
This month, it had to be The Barge, because they’re bringing back the epic Bargefest! 🤠
After a fantastic debut last year, they’re saddling up for Bargefest 2025, August 15 - 17, with live music, a bouncy castle and face painting for the kids, and plenty of foodie treats… think BBQ, a pizza shack, waffles, and a dedicated cider bar 😍 Plus, this year brings even more fun with a rodeo bull and a mobile petting farm 🐂 No tickets needed, just turn up and enjoy the weekend!
Set right on the Kennet & Avon Canal in Seend Cleeve, just 10 minutes from Melksham, The Barge Inn is a top spot for waterside drinks, fantastic food, and a warm Wadworth welcome. Whether you’re mooring up on a canal holiday or just popping in with your pup, it’s the perfect place to relax. Inside, cosy corners and canal-view windows await, and if you're celebrating, check out their semi-private function space!
Outside, there’s a garden bar and a variety of seating options, from comfortable sofas along the canal front to a large booth-style area perfect for groups, and a patio with cushioned seating, ideal for alfresco dining 🍽️ With the addition of new festoon lighting, the garden is the perfect place to unwind on a summer evening ✨
So, if you’re in the area over Bargefest weekend (or any other time!), make sure to head down because it really is a must-go 🤘
