That’s a wrap – we’ve sold everything and the festival is now closed!

A huge thank you to everyone who came along, raised a glass, supported the festival and helped create such a fantastic atmosphere. To our volunteers, whose hard work before, during and after the event makes it all possible, we simply couldn’t do it without you.

You’ve drunk us dry, and for that we’re incredibly grateful. See you next year!

Well you guys are thirsty!

All the c***r gone, still ale available though your first choice might not be available.

🌧️ A little rain wasn’t going to stop our festival-goers! Whether under an umbrella outside or keeping dry indoors, the b**r has continued to flow all day.

🍺 A number of the favorites have gone but good supplies of b**r remain, but the c***r bar has taken a serious hit — many c***rs have already sold out and stocks are now very low.

You lot have certainly been thirsty!

Day 2!

The festival is open – let the good times pour! 🍻
Please enjoy responsibly and help us make it a fantastic weekend for everyone.

06/06/2026

We’re back open from 11am today! 🍻

There’s still a fantastic choice of b**rs and c***rs waiting for you, although our first c***r has already sold out – a sure sign of how popular they’re proving to be! Don’t let the weather put you off either; we’ve got plenty of indoor seating and covered areas, so come along and enjoy the festival whatever the forecast.

Which b**r will be first to sell out? My money is on the Thornbridge Crackendale!
