The Reivers return is now preparing to open for another year, Richard and the staff have woken from their slumber, like the sleeping beauties they are, so they can serve you in 2025, The Reivers return will reopen on Saturday 30 August 2025, We look forward to welcoming you then
Rather than just calling the Beer Tent – “The Beer Tent” – we ran a little competition on Facebook a couple of years ago to rename it. Melanie Pepper was the winner and her name “Reivers Return” was chosen.
Not only can you chose from our huge variety of beverages for sale, but there is plenty space to relax, chat, sit back and enjoy the music. Even room for a bit of a bop too if you fancy.
Once again the Reivers return brings you the best of local music, something for all tastes.

From the deep deep South, (Shields that is),
Trying to describe the talent of this band is difficult – you just need to see them.
Featuring banjo, accordion, double bass, acoustic guitars and percussion, Big Red & the Grinners move seamlessly from the likes of Jay Z’s 99 Problems, Technotronic’s Pump Up the Jam, Tony Rice’s bluegrass classic Freeborn Man to a hilarious rendition of Paradise City by Guns n’ Roses.
Jason has captured audiences with his sincere lyrics and soul-stirring tunes by fusing traditional and modern country.
His music is based on the rich traditions of country music, but he gives it his own contemporary twist, giving it a timeless and current flavor. He takes listeners on a trip through love, heartbreak, and everything in between in his songs, which are bursting with unfiltered passion. Each tune is a wonderful work of art due to Arnup's expressive vocals and great narrative abilities.
Having been influenced by legends like Chris Stapleton and Keith Urban, Arnup offers a unique viewpoint on the country music scene. His tunes will have you tapping your feet and singing along because of their memorable melodies and contagious beats. Arnup's music, which ranges from bouncy anthems to moving ballads, has a way of connecting with listeners on a deep level.
Jason Arnup is a force to be reckoned with in the country music scene thanks to his tremendous talent and passion for the music.
