Wadworth is again running its special promotion to encourage customers to drive safely during the Christmas period.

Pubs managed by the Devizes brewers will be offering free soft drinks to designated drivers of pre-booked Christmas parties and group outings, during December.

“Many pubs are situated in rural areas and are easier to get to in a car, but they make ideal places for groups of friends to get together and celebrate the festive season,” said operations manager Rupert Bagnall.

“In line with our responsible drinking policy we want to ensure that our customers make their way home safely, so we strongly recommend that all groups nominate a designated driver who agrees not to drink alcohol for the evening.

"We will supply as many soft drinks as the driver wants so that he or she remains sharp and alert for the journey home.

“As we are constantly reminded by the police and the seasonal television advertisements, drinking and driving can be a lethal combination, and we at Wadworth do not want any of our customers to end up in an accident that could have been avoided.”

To claim the free drinks, simply introduce your nominated driver to the bar staff when you arrive.
