This year, S&B and Southport Rugby Club have been working closely together on a series of fundraising events for Elsie’s Story and Southport Soup Kitchen, strengthening ties between the two clubs. 

On Monday, they will be facing off in an S&B v Southport Rugby Club cricket match. 

Street food vendors on-site will include JT Akshaya (authentic Indian street food); Tik Taco (Mexican street food); Cake Corner (cakes, sweets and treats); Purely Slice Pizza (wood fired pizza); plus catering from Totally D’Vine. 

People can enjoy the event inside the S&B clubhouse and in a luxury marquee, installed by Elite Events. 

Sound and lighting is provided by Moonlight Events. 

Southport & Birkdale Sports Club David Salt said: 

“This August Bank Holiday is the final weekend for families to enjoy before children head back into school and some parents head back into work. 

“The S&Beer Fest is the perfect way to wrap up the summer holidays in style! 

“It’s a very fun, family-friendly event packed with live music, street food, entertainment, and great sporting action. 

“There is so much to enjoy on each day of the festival including our cricket match between S&B and Southport Rugby Club on Monday, featuring players with a variety of playing abilities! 

“Come and join us.”
