There is nowhere quite like it. Set among working signal boxes, historic locomotives and the famous APT (Advanced Passenger Train) standing alongside Crewe North Junction, where trains still sound their horns as they pass, the Heritage Centre is a beer festival venue and a grand day out rolled into one. For the rail enthusiast it's a pilgrimage; for everyone else it's an unforgettable backdrop to a great pint. Wander the exhibits between halves, take in the APT, ride the miniature railway, and raise a glass in the town that built the railways. After a year off in 2025, this year brings something special. We’re proud to be hosting the regional judging of the Premium Bitters category for the Champion Beer of Britain — meaning some of the finest beers in the country will be assessed right here at the festival. You'll find 60+ carefully curated real ales, ciders and perrys across cask and keg, with food stalls and seating throughout. A family friendly and dog friendly event, with plenty to see; whether you know your Pendolino from your Porter or not.

The Harbury Beer & Cider Festival has taken place since 1991, with just three missed years, on the Friday and Saturday following the August Bank Holiday Monday in Harbury Village Hall.

We will have around 30 different beers, mostly from Leicestershire, with a few from some of our best local breweries.
