If you need something to look forard to on these glum February days, looks like late May and early June will be a great time for culture vultures in the Dales. There are some fantastic events and celebrity guests lined up for the 5th annual Swaledale festival. Check them out at www.swaledale-festival.org.uk

Tickets are available from 26 April, or Mon-Sat, 10-4, at 01748 880019.

And as always The Old Brewery is waiting to welcome you from 28 may to 12 June.

We would like to wish all our guests, past, present and future, a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

The decorations are up and we are all ready for Christmas at The Old Brewery. Thank you to all those who have sent Christmas cards.

Please take a look at our new promotional video for 2010 which has been made for us by the fine people at Latice Films. In fact, this video is even featured on their home page right now - what an honour!

This site went live today after being more-or-less unchanged since 2006. To see how it looked before today, click on the thumbnail image to view a larger screengrab. We hope you agree that the new site is a big improvement, not just in looks but in usability, too.

The Old Brewery's website is deceptively complex - not least because there's a real-time room reservations system working behind the scenes - so there may be a few rough spots to iron out.

If you spot any bugs or glitches, then we're very sorry. But you can help us to avoid inconveniencing others and we'd be very, very grateful if you could notify the webmaster. Please let us know what went wrong, and which page you were viewing at the time. If you're sufficiently computer-savvy then emailing us a screengrab might help, or you can copy and paste any error messages that might help us solve your problem.

However, please only use this address for technical support - if you're unlucky enough to have trouble making a reservation, please email info@oldbreweryguesthouse.com.
