A list of other forthcoming Local and Regional Beer Festivals follows:-

Gates open at 12 noon and the Festival will finish with a fabulous firework finale at 10.40pm. The Festival operates on a not-for-profit basis and although admission is free we do ask our audience to make a small donation to help with the costs of staging the event.  The day will provide nearly 11 hours of non stop entertainment, featuring four main stages of live music featuring more than 40 bands and 150+ musicians, Stamford’s largest beer and cider festival once again featuring a wide variety of real ales and ciders in a 200’ long bar, traditional fun fair, children’s entertainment as well as opportunities to taste food from across the world and take part in a little retail therapy.

The Riverside Beer Festival is back again but with EVEN MORE BEER! 100% of the proceeds from every drink sold goes to charity, 50% to support the staging of the Riverside Festival and 50% to our Beer Festival Partners Bourne Round Table to support their own good causes. Once again our aim is to provide good quality drinks at good value prices, and our Beers will be on sale at just £2.50 a pint for all beers, ciders and lagers. Our 200’ long bar will feature three bars a Real Ale & Cider Bar, The Riverside Pub Style Bar and an Express Can Bar, and with a Pimms and Wine Bar located in our Acoustic Tent we hope that you will be able to find something to tickle your taste buds.
