Cheshire-based festival, Deva Fest, has announced exclusive partnership with Yorkshire-based, Vocation Brewery, as its headline beer partner for the event in August.
With a range of craft beers spanning IPAs and Pale Ales, through to barrel-aged stouts and lagers, Vocation Brewery will be supplying draught and canned beer across all bars at the festival, including their famous (and original) classic IPA, Life & Death, and Hop, Skip & Juice, Vocation’s hazy pale ale with a tropical, citrussy twist.
Philip Marston, founder of Deva Fest, said: “As promised, this year’s Deva Fest is going to be bigger and better than ever, and of course, we didn’t just mean the line-up. It was a no-brainer to include an exclusive beer partner to the festival that will bring a real mixture of good-tasting ale and even more impressive knowledge to go with it.
“Alongside our exclusive food and drink partners, IKO and Artezzan, we’re so happy to be able to provide our festival attendees with a range of craft beers and IPAs across all of our bars from a premium, independent brewery like Vocation. We’ve made sure we’ve left no stone unturned with the selection of craft beer, it’s an experience your tastebuds don’t want to miss!”
Vocation Brewery has been brewing and creating craft ales since 2015, and now operates four of its own bars across Yorkshire and Manchester. Priding itself on only creating brews that are of premium quality and outstanding flavour combinations, Vocation beers are stocked in bars, restaurants and bottle shops across the UK and several retailers including M&S, Waitrose, Tesco, Sainsbury’s, Asda, Morrisons and Co-op.
Richard Stenson, Managing Director of Vocation Brewery commented on the partnership “We’re very excited about the partnership with Deva Fest, and we think the selection of drinks we’re bringing with us will encompass the feel-good festival vibes and ensure there is a beer for everyone.
“Deva Fest’s ethos of being inclusive, as well as providing support for local and independent brands, really resonates with Vocation and everything we stand for, so there was no question about the collab.
“We can’t wait to bring some of our favourite brews to the festival goers across the three-day weekend, as well as some exciting on-site activities to be announced closer to the time.”

This year’s Deva Fest will host five stages of music and comedy, including the newly named Vocation stage, honouring our fantastic lead beer provider, which is not to be missed. Alongside global headliners including Will Young, Fleur East, Feeder, Starsailor, and Five Deva Fest provides a range of family-friendly entertainment, including a free-to-use fairground, live performers, a circus tent and parade, Deva Laughs comedy club, on-site water sports, gin tasting and a range of hand-picked street food stalls.
Ticketholders will be able to access shuttle buses from nearby cities running all weekend, as well as return weekend coach transfers from Manchester, Liverpool, Warrington, Wallasey and Crewe, in partnership with Tuned in Travel.
Free on-site parking is offered all weekend for those travelling to the venue by car.
