Kempsey is in for a fantastic May Bank Holiday weekend as both The Talbot and The Crown prepare to throw exciting events for locals and visitors alike. With two very different atmospheres and approaches, it’ll be interesting to see which pub draws the biggest crowd!
The Talbot – Fun for all!
For the first time since Martin and Dee took over as landlord 18 months ago, The Talbot is hosting a proper community event on Sunday 4th May promising a day of cider, live music, great food, and sunshine (fingers crossed!). Music lovers will be delighted to see Jamie Knight’s Acoustic Jukebox making a return, alongside the high-energy Delray Rockets, who are sure to get the crowd moving. With cold cider, slashed menu prices, and ice cream for the kids.

The Crown – Bigger & Better Than Ever!
While The Talbot looks to reignite its spark, The Crown is absolutely on fire! This pub has been going from strength to strength, and they’re pulling out all the stops for a May Bank Holiday extravaganza.
Get ready for three days of non-stop entertainment:

Saturday, May 3rd – Outside live music on the lorry with two fantastic bands, pop-up food van & dessert van
Sunday, May 4th – Another day of live music on the lorry, food vans, dessert treats, AND a huge prize giveaway at 8:30 PM! (You must be there to claim!)
