About this festival

Raise a Glass for Helensburgh & Lomond 🍺🍸
The Helensburgh Beer & Gin Festival is back β€” and it's going to be a belter.

Two days. Hundreds of drinks. One incredible community. Whether you're a hophead hunting your new favourite IPA, a gin obsessive on the quest for the perfect G&T, or you just fancy a cracking weekend out with friends, we've got you covered.

What's Pouring?
The Bars β€” Our volunteer team has been busy curating an outstanding selection of cask ales, craft beers, lagers and ciders. From local Scottish breweries to exciting newcomers, there's plenty to explore (and maybe a cheeky half or two you weren't expecting to love).

Gin Alley β€” Take a wander down our dedicated gin bar featuring Scottish distilleries, creative serves, and serves so pretty you'll want to photograph them before drinking. Gin not your thing? We've got rum cocktails and refreshing alcohol-free options too.

Live Music β€” Because great drinks deserve a great soundtrack. Expect toe-tapping tunes all weekend long.

Street Food β€” Carefully selected vendors serving up delicious eats to keep you fuelled between rounds.

More Than Just a Festival
Here's the thing β€” HEART is run entirely by volunteers, and every single penny of profit goes straight back into the Helensburgh & Lomond community.

Last year's events helped fund youth projects, sports clubs, community groups, and local initiatives. When you buy a ticket, you're not just getting a great weekend out β€” you're making a real difference to the place we all call home.
