Bollington Beer Festival

As part of the main Bollington Festival

21st – 25th May

Welcome back to the 13th Bollington Beer Festival

This year, we’ll be doing things a little differently…

You’ll find us on the Bollington Recreational Ground as part of the main Bollington Festival, so now, you can enjoy all the fantastic food and entertainment, as well as a carefully considered line-up of beers, ciders, perries and more.

Entry is free, but to partake in the Beer Festival, you’ll need to buy a souvenir festival cup, alongside the usual tokens for beer and cider.

Over the coming weeks, we’ll be revealing all the local businesses sponsoring the event.

Whether you’re coming along to discover a new favourite pint, watch some bands of just hang out with friends and family – we hope you’ll find the festival a fun place to be!

Cheers, see you at the Rec in May. P.S. If you do find yourself missing the usual Arts Centre Beer Festivals, we’ll be heading back there in 2027.
