WHAT A DAY!!! A sincere, 'THANK YOU' to everyone who came with picnic rugs, camp chairs, hearty thirsts, appetites and the feelgood factor. As Spinal Tap would say, it was up to 11.

There's heaps more photos and reels to come, but here's just a few to give a flavour of the day.

Thanks too to all the volunteers, sponsors, merchandise team, food stalls, children's entertainment, duty managers, beer team, bar team, kitchen team, raffle team, finance, first aiders, tickets and front of house, security, car park team, stage crew, sound guys, green room team and of course musicians who made it all come together so well. Apologies if anyone has been missed!

Special mention, too, to compere and enthusiastic driving force behind the festival itself, Mark Wilson, without whom none of this would have started or continued to grow to the success it has.

Lastly but not least, thanks to everyone who helped raise money for St Nicholas Hospice who we can all agree is such a worthy cause. We'll keep you updated on what we managed to raise!!

We'll take a bow now whilst we clear up and recover but stay tuned. You guys ROCK!!

As with previous years, here's the car parking and beer & music festival site map.

The car park will be fully manned all day and lit at night (torches always a good idea, though)

Cyclists, bring your bike chains as we have something to secure your bikes to.

Festival goers, bring your picnic rugs and camp chairs for parking yourselves.

🅿️it’s a go with CAR PARK PLAN A!🅿️

Just a little reminder of where we are and where the carpark is. Field car park is the same one as 2022. There will be a bridge crossing from the car park field onto the entrance of the village hall car parkase This year we are freeing up the hall parking for blue badge holders and bicycle parking: entrance Please show your blue badge to the parking volunteer to gain entry to the hall car park.

🚲 Cyclists, reminder to bring your chain / padlocks 🔐

We will also be able to offer a drop off service should the accessible parking reach capacity or do not have a badge.

Our what3words is LOCKER TINT EMPLOY 👀

Some last minute reminders before kick off tomorrow!

...and a sprinkling of locally brewed ciders!

Please note that this year, we have had to raise our prices slightly due to rising costs. This means that your ticket allows you entrance to the festival only. Not bad for 9 hours of musical and family friendly entertainment! Beer / cider tokens are available to purchase in the village hall, along with special edition 5th anniversary pint glasses, priced at £3 each.

Thanks in advance for your understanding and we hope you enjoy some of the best beers and ciders in East Anglia. (Of course our village hall bar is open serving other drinks, too).

"Words cannot begin to describe how talented this act is. With raw authentic vocals and amazing catchy original songs every time they perform they have me hooked. Their covers are equally as amazing with great mash ups from artists like queen and Elton John they’re definitely a must see duo."

Not our words (thanks, fan Ruby), but if you came to the 2024 festival you'll know they are referring to the 'two voices, one piano' duo that is Painting the Silence - this year, our HEADLINE ACT!

Big fans of the Wyverstone Beer & Music Festival themselves, this is how they described their last performance here. "MAN ALIVE! If we'd have known the reaction we'd get following our setting up picture here, we'd never have believed it! Wyverstone Beer and Music Festival - thankyou so much for having us! Best 20 minutes ever! The audience were incredible! Absolutely buzzing!"

AUDIENCE - We have a mission! Let's give them the best Wyverstone welcome at 9pm THIS SATURDAY.
