You’d be a fool not to visit Tucker’s this April!

THE diary at the legendary Tucker’s Grave Inn at Faulkland is looking full for April with live music and more lined up to entertain locals and visitors alike.

Since buying the 200-year-old inn five years ago, the Watts family have opened up a barn for bands and parties whilst also building The Old Parlour and Café which offers a modern, airy alternative space as well as adding a campsite.

With doors opening onto a verandah and the garden, the space is ideal for sunny spring and summer days whilst underfloor heating keeps it warm in winter. Both the barn and parlour –along with the skittle alley – are available for hire.

Time has stood still inside the pub itself, with many first-time visitors taking photos of the unique interior – there’s no bar as such!

Saturday, April 1st sees a day of fun and music to celebrate the tenth anniversary of the national charity Children’s Air Ambulance. Amongst the attractions will be an Easter egg hunt, cake and craft stalls, a raffle, face painting and more with The Original Barn Finds playing in the evening.

The Easter weekend itself sees more live music, on both Saturday night and Sunday afternoon.

On Saturday, April 29th, Tucker’s will host another of its hugely successful afternoon tea parties in aid of the Bowel

Movement charity – expect tables absolutely laden with homebaked treats.

The team at Tuckers say: “If you haven’t been to Tuckers for years, you may not know that it’s exactly the same inside and it’s surviving while many other pubs are having to close. The addition of the campsite and The Old Parlour Cafe have created a space for customers.

“We employ 10-15 local people, our camping is cheap, our drinks are cheaper and our staff are the best.

“Tuckers is a legendary pub and hopefully it will still be here in another 200 years. So, a big thank you to all who have supported us and those who don’t, please come and see what you’re missing; you might be pleasantly surprised!”
