It's Alsager Christmas lights switch-on this weekend and The Mere Inn has plenty to tempt your tastebuds and enjoy a drink or two in front of the cosy fire.

Renowned for its hospitality, The Mere has developed a reputation for live music and this Sunday (November 24th), is no exception!

Crowds will be turning out to the big event but why not enjoy some quiet time before you join the throng and chill out with friends and family with a drink or two?

The acoustic duo, Northern Lights, will be playing from 5 pm until 7 pm covering all decades and genres - a chance to chill out either before or after going to see the stalls!

Enjoy an afternoon of mulled wine, warm mince pies and live acoustic music before heading down to the big switch on.

The fun continues on Saturday, December 7th when the band three-piece rockabilly/rock 'n' roll band Vavoom' are playing from 8.30 pm.

Nothing blows out the cobwebs better than a brisk New Year's day walk and if there's a better way to finish a walk than in the pub, The Mere is yet to find it.
