The Second St Benedict Beer Festival

Following our immensely successful First St Benedict Beer Festival last year, we are back bigger and better!

Celebrate summer with us at the Second St Benedict Beer Festival with great beer, live music, food, and fun, it’s the perfect local day out for families, friends, and beer/cider lovers alike. Relax in the grounds and marquees, or visit our beautiful Victorian Church designed by Sir George Gilbert Scott and consecrated in 1846, which features the best Thomas Kempe stained glass window in the southwest of England!

This year’s festival promises a flavour-packed lineup with at least 20 beers and ciders on tap, alongside soft drinks and snacks for all tastes.

Festival Highlights:
• Over 20 craft beers and 8 ciders on tap, including something completely new for St
Benedict’s!
• Soft drinks and bar snacks
• Hot food vendors
• Live music at 6pm from the legendary What the Pluck (Friday) and – returning by popular demand – the fantastic Kelly-Anne Country (formerly Kelly Sings Country) (Saturday). Bring your line-dancing boots!
