This is a very relaxed festival, following in the traditions of a typical beer festival, but with a fantastic jazz line-up to accompany the liquid refreshment!
The Festival stage will welcome an eclectic mix of artists from 12.30pm-10.00pm, with doors and bars opening at 12pm, and last orders at 10.30pm (drinking up by 11.00pm) with the exception of Wednesday and Thursday when bars close at 10pm (drinking up by 10.30pm). So why not make a day of it! The music will flow all day, with 3 main acts performing each day. There is plenty of room to laze on the lawns, or take a seat in the Soul Foods Garden and let the music waft over you. We don't just cater for the real ale lovers, but also for other palettes with Pimms, cocktails, wine and soft drinks available.
There are two ticket options – entry before 5pm and entry after 5pm.
You purchase a festival glass on entry (£3) which is refundable on exit it you don't want to keep it as a souvenir. The choice is yours! You'll be given a Festival Drinks Guide on entry so you can plan your drinks to match your mood or the music.
Feel free to ask for a beer taster to try before you buy.
The Festival takes place outdoors, but bar areas are under cover. The festival will go ahead in wet weather so please come prepared.
