The Festival of Beer, run by Blackpit Brewery returns to Buckinghamshire this September. The event has grown substantially since it began as a one-day event in 2017, this year will be the first time the festival runs across three days. Returning with their most impressive line-up yet including funk, soul, world and electronic music; Blackpit Brewery have also handpicked the best breweries and the finest street-food from all over the UK.
Heading up the music line-up are electronic afro-funk band Ibibio Sound Machine, New York disco pioneers Odyssey and the king of soul and funk himself, Craig Charles. Other acts confirmed include Greg Wilson, The Cuban Brothers, Rob Da Bank, Don Letts, The Allergies and comedian Milton Jones heading up the comedy stage. Featured breweries include Rivington, Bath Ales, Northern Monk, Squawk and many more.
The Festival of Beer is set in the stunning Buckinghamshire countryside on Blackpit Farm, originally part of the Stowe Estate, boasting thousands of acres of ancient woodland, historic rides and lakes, many of which were designed by Capability Brown in the mid 1700s.
This beautiful location is the perfect antidote to a long lockdown with its green parklands, ancient woodland and even enjoying its own lake which will be open for paddle boarding, canoeing and swimming. Unlike many festivals, this setting also boasts plush toilets and hot showers to create a real home-from-home experience. Add into the mix yoga, wellbeing, live brewing and loco cricket and you are set for a revitalising and enjoyable weekend!
Festival tickets for the weekend, Friday 3rd September to Sunday 5th September from £69 per adult, and just £20 per child, are on sale here this includes on site camping for three nights. Glamping upgrades are also available via Perfectly Pitched Camping for those who want to just turn up and check in, with no lugging heavy tents around or wrestling with tent poles.
“We’re delighted to be back after a year off last year due to covid. The wide range of on-site activities really sets The Festival of Beer apart from your average boutique festival. Whether it’s partying and getting lost in the woods, sit-down dining experiences, recharging with yoga and wellbeing, or taking part in outdoor activities like freshwater swimming, The Festival of Beer is a space to play, indulge, revitalise and make new friends.”
Duncan Wheeler, Festival Director.
“The Festival of Beer was definitely one of my 2019 highlights and one of the last festivals I DJed at before lockdown… a perfect mix of lovely people, great installations and spot on beer!”
Rob Da Bank, DJ
