However, If for any reason beer is not your thing then not to worry, as the festival will also have a large selection of discovery wines and fine craft spirits.

In addition to the delicious drinks, visitors can also look forward to award-winning artisan street food, live music and entertainment throughout the weekend.

Due to take place from 19 to 20 May 2023, tickets are priced at £15 and include entry, free samples, souvenir glass, festival programme, a goodie bag and opportunities to meet the brewers, plus plenty of live music, fun and games.
