A Weekend Full of Events
Friday Night Vibes: Live Music
Kick off the weekend with a fantastic Friday night! A live singer will hit the stage to set the mood, filling the air with music that gets everyone on their feet—or relaxing, pint in hand, if that’s more your speed. The Bickerton Poacher is known for its welcoming and friendly atmosphere, and this night sets the tone for the adventures to come.
Saturday Fun: Skittles, Quizzes, and Prizes
Saturday afternoon brings on the competitive spirit with a skittles competition from 1 pm to 4 pm. It’s all about having a laugh, whether you’re a skittles pro or someone just testing out their skills. Gather your crew or team up with other attendees—it’s a great way to bond and enjoy a bit of friendly rivalry.
When evening rolls in, settle into a reserved area at the pub for a specially themed Valentine’s Quiz. With prizes up for grabs, your team might just head back to your pitch victorious. Think you can flex those general knowledge muscles better than the rest? Here’s your chance!
Stay for Sunday Lunch
Why rush off when you can make the most of the weekend? Late checkout is available on Sunday, and a warm, hearty Sunday lunch awaits those wanting to linger a little longer. It’s the perfect way to round off a weekend of fun with new faces and old friends.
Comfortable Facilities and Affordable Prices
Whether you’re bringing your trusty motorhome, your campervan, or a lovingly converted van, The Bickerton Poacher has everything you need: water access, waste disposal, elsan points, plus toilets and showers for freshening up.
Pitch options vary depending on your setup and preference:
