At our campsite, you'll find a proper pub, mind,

Wi' zider and ale of the finest kind!

Folks come from near and far, seeking a good dose,

O' laughter, live music, and a zider overdose.

Our zider's proper strong, a warnin' in place,

It spins yer head, your worries it erase.

Some reckon they're immune, a mighty claim,

But our zider shows 'em true weight and frame.

In our humble barn, the band ignites,

Their melodies and rhythms, pure musical delights.

Guitars strummin', drums beatin' loud,

A proper symphony of sounds, drawin' in the crowd.

So join us, me lover, in this campsite retreat,

Where zider, laughter, and good fun do meet.

Leave your worries behind, let your spirit soar,

Fer here, great times reign forevermore!
