👑 WIN A YEAR'S SUPPLY OF FURSTY FERRET 👑
Last week, our mischievous Fursty Ferret found itself on national news when The King and Queen visited the Badger Brewery in Blandford ahead of our 250th birthday next year. While Queen Camilla watched on, King Charles stepped behind the bar, pulled himself a pint and, with England freshly out of the World Cup, remarked that it was "a good day to drown a few sorrows".
We won't comment on the football.
But we will give one lucky winner a year's supply of Fursty Ferret.

Celebrating 250 years of Hall & Woodhouse
Their Majesties The King and Queen were welcomed to the Badger Brewery in Dorset today, to mark the beginning of our 250th birthday celebrations.
The King and Queen met 7th, 8th, and 9th generation Woodhouse family members, long-standing team members, a number of our current chef and brewing apprentices. We also introduced Their Majesties to the team behind local Teddy Rocks festival, a charitable event which has raised more than £1 million to children's cancer charities to date, and that we have proudly sponsored since 2019.
As we celebrate our first 250 years, we have our sights firmly set on success for many more milestone birthdays. We are committed to providing opportunities, giving back to the communities in which we operate, and protecting the planet for generations to come.
The King and Queen also unveiled a commemorative plaque that honours our first 250 years and is displayed within our Brewery Tap bar and café in Blandford.
