About this festival

A weekend celebration of great beers, craft gins, live music and good company — all raising funds for Blackburn & Darwen Youth Zone.
Join the Blackburn Beer & Gin Festival 2026!
The Blackburn Beer & Gin Festival is a much-loved annual community event held at Blackburn Rugby Club, bringing together friends, families, local businesses and beer- and gin-lovers for a weekend of fun, flavour and fundraising. Organized entirely by volunteers, the festival features over 60 real ales from local and national breweries, curated craft gins from regional distilleries, great local street food and a vibrant line-up of live music and entertainment.

But it’s more than just drinks and music — the festival offers something for everyone: live rugby matches, family-friendly zones and delicious nibbles make it perfect for a relaxed day (or evening) out. Best of all, all proceeds go directly to Blackburn & Darwen Youth Zone, helping support local young people through youth clubs, skills programmes, social activities and community outreach.

Join us for the 2026 festival and raise a glass to good times, good company, and a good cause. 🍻
