About this festival

Celebrate craft beer at its best.

Back for its third year, this festival curated by Time & Tide Brewing brings together some of the UK’s most exciting independent breweries in a truly unique setting.

Held within the stunning grounds of Canterbury Cathedral (a UNESCO World Heritage Site), Canterbury Cathedral Lodge offers a beautiful backdrop just under an hour from London.

Expect a carefully curated line-up of beers—from fresh, hoppy IPAs to sours, low-alcohol options and rich imperial stouts, plus a few wild and experimental pours for good measure. There’s also cider, wine, and a selection of spirits and soft drinks.

Alongside the beer, you’ll find:

High-quality street food with a focus on local produce

DJs in the Lodge Auditorium

Spacious seating areas throughout the venue, perfect for relaxing and enjoying your drinks.
