Festival bar partner: Derventio Wines / Tate Smith We are a family run drinks wholesaler based in Malton, North Yorkshire and have been going since 1888. As with many other businesses, we have had to find new ways to adapt to the current situation and, as with the festival, we have been moving things online Our latest venture has been to launch our Postable Pub, a number of drinks rounds that can be posted around the country to anyone you are missing. We have adapted this idea to provide a festival bar and hope you find something that takes your fancy. We have chosen to showcase some of our favourite local products and have sourced plastic-free snacks (including compostable crisp packets) and recyclable postal packaging, to make these packages both unique and sustainable.
