The Western Park Beer Festival is a volunteer‑run, not‑for‑profit community event that raises money for local charities. It brings together a wide range of craft beers, ciders, wines, and gin, with a mix of adult‑only sessions and a family‑friendly period. The festival champions local producers, supports Leicestershire good causes, and creates a lively annual gathering for the community.

Hinckley Beer Festival

Attendees can explore a fantastic range of brews, from local cask ales, UK’s Gold medal summer and winter winners, a guest range range from Timothy Taylors Yorkshire Brewery, a selection of modern keg craft beers, a number of specialist lagers and a range of artisan chilled ciders. To ensure we have something for everyone the main bar will remain open and we will have a specialist gin and rum bar available. Various food vendors will be on site to ensure you can clean the palette and enjoy some of the best brews in the country. The event will take place in a large marquee and the main clubhouse which will give approx 1,000m2 of undercover space. Live entertainment will be range from early doors acoustics to anthem bands later in the day to really get the party rocking. Plus there will be rugby games on outside at the same time if you want a quick change of scenery. We will make announcements regarding bands, beers, food and other beverages over the next couple of months. Overall, we are looking to give Hinckley its beer festival back and having a bloody good party! Let’s have some fun!
