COST

Festival entry on the door costs £20 for single-day entry or £35 for two-day entry (see below for savings you can make by buying advance tickets). For this you get:

  • £12 (£12 each day if you buy a two-day ticket) of beer/cider tokens, or £15 (£15 each day if you buy a two-day ticket) for CAMRA members on production of a membership card. Unused tokens are refundable or can be donated to charity. Additional tokens are available to buy on the door.
  • a choice of a commemorative festival glass (while stocks last) or a glass of your choice from a previous festival. The glass is yours to take home. Additional glasses can be purchased for £4. If you buy a weekend ticket you must bring your glass back with you on the Saturday.
  • a festival programme with detailed tasting notes of all the beers and ciders.
  • a display from the Hereburgh Morris Dancers on the Saturday afternoon and, for the third year running, live music from the brilliant local covers band Muve-On at 8pm on the Saturday evening.

Card payments are preferred but you can also pay by cash.

ADVANCE TICKETS

Tickets are always available on the door, but you will also have the opportunity to buy advance tickets. Advantages are:

  • tickets are £18 for single-day entry or £33 for a two-day entry, a £2 saving compared to buying on the door.
  • a guaranteed commemorative festival glass (if you choose a Souvenir Pint Glass ticket option) – these are only available while stocks last to on the door entrants.

There is a limited number of advance tickets and the store closes one hour before the doors open, or earlier if sold out, so you are advised to book early.

The store link will be published here in due course
