Spa Sessions is a thoughtfully curated 1-day, two-session beer festival taking place at Pittville Pump Room, Cheltenham, on September 5th 2026. During the event, you will have access to a line-up of beers from some of our favourite brewers in the UK. Alongside the beer, we will have a selection of food trucks and outlets serving delicious food. The event is supporting 2 local charities – The National Star Centre and Cheltenham Samaritans.

Full Circle Fest is back for the third year, after the roaring success of the past 2 events. Joining us for this weekend will be 12 of our favourite breweries from around the UK, alongside some of the best food vendors in Newcastle serving up some delicious scran. There will be 3 sessions across the weekend, each lasting 5 hours and there will be different beers pouring across all 3. So each session will have a variety of new and exciting beers to try, should you wish to attend more than one session. Your ticket secures you entry for the session of your choosing, your commemorative FCF branded glassware and a free 1/3 of Full Circle beer upon arrival. While you're at the festival you can purchase beers from any brewery of your choosing using our token system. This is the perfect chance for any beer lover to sample new beers from various breweries up and down the UK and chat directly to the teams behind these beers. We will be joined by 3 local street food vendors who will be providing delicious scran for everyone all weekend. Food vendors will take card payments, not tokens. The entire festival is a cashless event, please ensure you have your card when attending.

Join us as we celebrate all things beer with a line-up of fantastic pours, delicious food and events worth raising a glass to.
