Six Bells Celebration of Real Ales

About this festival

This August Bank Holiday, we’re bringing together 16 fantastic real ales from breweries across the country for our Celebration of Real Ale.

The event is organised by the Six Bells in aid of Harper, and her family. Harper has three major operations coming up at Great Ormond Street and funds are needed to support the family during this time.

From traditional bitters, milds and porters to pale ales and modern, hop-forward favourites, we’ve chosen a line-up that shows just how varied and exciting proper cask ale can be. Expect beers from some of the best-known names in British brewing alongside a few discoveries that may be completely new to you.

And we’re keeping the pricing simple: every real ale will be £5 a pint, giving you every excuse to work your way through the list and find a new favourite.
