About this festival

Get ready for an unforgettable May Bank Holiday weekend as we host our annual Beer Festival! Set in the stunning surroundings of our 13th-century medieval friary, it’s the perfect way to relax and enjoy some of the best local brews.
Throughout the weekend, enjoy delicious street food served fresh from the BBQ, alongside live music on both Saturday and Sunday. There will also be scheduled beer tasting events all weekend that are fun, informative and perfect for beer lovers — tickets sold separately.
On the day, you’ll have the opportunity to sample beers from nine fantastic local breweries, including our very own St Dominic’s Brewery.
Tickets include entry on the day, branded St Dominic’s schooner filled with your choice of one of our St Dominic’s beers on arrival, beer festival brochure and an unforgettable beer experience!
