Oxford craft brewery, bakery and social enterprise Tap Social Movement is planning a Winter Beer Bash.

It will take place on Saturday, November 30, from 2pm to 11pm, at its taproom in the Curtis Industrial Estate in Botley.

Sponsored by NFU Mutual Witney, Tap Social's Winter Beer Bash features six guest breweries joining Tap Social, including Indie Rabble (voted SIBA’s ‘Best New UK Brewery 2024’) and DEYA Brewing Co.

There will also be food from Proof Pizza and Proof Social Bakehouse. 

The Winter Beer Bash is described by organisers as dog friendly and open to all. Tickets are now on sale for just £10.

Earlier this year Tap Social Movement handed over the running of the White House pub in Abingdon Road to Dodo Pub Company.

Dodo changed the pub's name to The Slow and Steady and refurbished the interior at the same time.

The pub was closed for several months while the refurbishment work was being completed.

In May last year Tap Social opened a new venue at the Covered Market, known as The Market Tap.

The Market Tap was one of several traders agreeing to take part in a trial of new extended opening hours, which run from Thursday to Saturday until 11pm.

Tap Social Movement launched in 2016 with a view to helping offenders leaving prison to find employment.

(Image: Oxford Mail) A statement from Tap Social says: "We are a social enterprise that brews, bakes, and creates inclusive community hospitality venues to help turn lives around for prisoners and prison leavers through direct employment and advocacy.

"To date we have created more than 85,000 hours of paid employment for prisoners on day release from prison and prison leavers. Having a job helps to build self-confidence and resilience, and leaves people better equipped to lead a productive and happy life.

"This in turn reduces reoffending and prevents victimisation."
