About this festival

Enthusiasts can enjoy a mouth-watering weekend in Eastbourne - a great way to get ready for Summer!

Fine ales and cask ciders to enjoy, all kept in the best cellar conditions, plus Pimm's, cocktails, wines & gins. There are CAMRA volunteers on hand too to offer advice and tips for a perfect beverage, plenty of seating and a warm welcome are guaranteed!

Across the weekend, both family-friendly sessions and evening events are available with plenty of mouth-watering food stalls, and the festival offers a tasty selection of drinks with over 100+ real ales, craft beers, ciders and perries to choose from.
Children and small dogs on leads are welcome to join the day sessions on Saturday and Sunday.

Due to the nature of the event, the drink selection will reduce as the sessions progress.
