About this festival

Beers & Ciders

Henry Kirk will be selecting our beers again and the focus will be on independent breweries. As usual we are supporting our local trade but will be going further afield to breweries in and around Sheffield. We plan to have forty-five cask beers, ten craft keg/KeyKeg beers and ten real Ciders/Perries.

Beer Glasses.

There will be no souvenir beer glass this year. We will reuse and recycle existing stocks of glasses from CAMRA. So please do not take your beer glass home with you. This is a less environmentally damaging option and helps keep the ticket prices the same as last year.

Tokens

Beer, Cider and Perry can only be purchased with tokens. Which you can buy at the token desk. Unused tokens can be refunded up until when “TIME” is called at the end of each session. We accept cash or Debit/Credit Card, Visa or Mastercard only (contactless or chip and PIN) up to a limit of £50.

Festival Charity

We are proud to support the Care For Veterans Charity. A simple way to give is to place your unused tokens in the collection boxes near the exits.

Festival Sponsors.

Unbarred have very kindly agreed to sponsor our festival.

Catering

The Humble Pie Company will be on hand with their pies and other products including vegan and vegetarian options. They will also have wines and other alcoholic drinks for those who may like something other than beer or cider. Purchases from their stand will be cash or card only.
