If you?ve been before you?ll know what to expect: over 150 cask beers, specialist keg, craft beers, ciders and perrys, the Smokehouse Chefs from The Ferret serving up a BBQ Bonanza in their own unique smokehouse style, and live music and DJs across the long weekend to keep you moving.

TASTING NOTES ONLINE NOW!

We continue the larger version of our beer festival with a 9 x 21 metre marquee housing our second beer hall giving us the ability to offer over 150 ales, speciality kegs and ciders - in addition to getting rid of those dreaded queues!

In order for us to promote a safe and comfortable environment we?re capping number of guests in the fest. A minimal door fee of £3 is in place, although entry will still be free on Sunday. There?s a £1 discount for CAMRA members off the entry price (from Conti bar only).

We've also introduced limited All-Weekend Tickets at £7.

The return of the specialist keg and beer bar will see a top of the taps rundown of excellent emerging craft keg brewers. The beer hall has new improved seating areas for you to sit in and soak up the atmosphere.

All this thirsty work will give you an appetite, so the Smokehouse Chefs from The Ferret will be serving up a BBQ Bonanza in its unique smokehouse style. Team Ferret have been working hard in creating more Vegan & Vegetarian options for your tastebuds this time out.

Along with the amazing ale and food on offer, the live music and DJ roster in the outdoor marquee is an ever-popular feature of the festival. This time we've got hotter-than-hot Manchester indie rock act CABBAGE, reggae from ZAMAICA, rock from GOOD FOXY, soul & Motown from NEON CACTUS and much, much more!
