When?

The 2019 beer festival will take place on Friday 4th and Saturday 5th October.

What's on Offer

Once again this year we will exhibit around 240 different real ales and over 40 real ciders and perries , including 3 Festival Special Beers never seen before our festival .
Our LiveBar shows what beers we currently have available, or are waiting in the cellar.
The LiveBar will be updated in real time as beers that have run out are taken off, and also as new beers are added from the cellar on Saturday.
We will also have a great selection of Ciders & Perries... all served, we guarantee, without ice!
As well as our fabulous selection of drinks, the festival will also offer some top class flat racing and the chance to have a flutter if you fancy, plus live music.
