City Beerfest 2026

One of London's most characterful summer beer events returns to the historic surroundings of Guildhall Yard on Thursday 2 July 2026.

City Beerfest brings together more than 55 beers from 13 brewers across the UK, Europe and Canada, served alongside street food, live music and games. The line-up spans cask, keg and international styles, with non-alcoholic, low-alcohol and gluten-free options too — so there's plenty to enjoy whatever you drink.

It's also a festival with a purpose. Organised by the City of London Corporation in partnership with the Worshipful Company of Brewers, City Beerfest has raised over £175,000 for charity since 2013, with proceeds supporting The Lord Mayor's Appeal. The participating brewers donate their beer to help make that possible.

Sessions run from 12:30 to 21:00. Tickets are £20, with Early Bird and Advance discounts available when booking online.
