About
We are delighted to announce that we will be having another ‘Winter Edition’ this November in the Town Hall. The two-day event will again take place in the magnificent ballroom in the town hall. It’s great to have found another iconic site in Newark to hold a beer festival and to repeat and improve what we did in 2025.
When
This year’s dates are 20th and 21st November and as this is an indoor venue, with a limited capacity, we will be selling tickets in advance and splitting each day into two sessions. The Day Session will run from 10:30 – 16:00 and the Evening Session from 17:00 – 22:30. There will be around 50 beers and 15 ciders on offer. Food will be available and there will be acoustic music in the evenings and the traditional daily quiz in the afternoons. There will be a few walk-in tickets available but we advise buying a ticket beforehand to ensure that you get in. There will be no under 18s allowed and we can only allow assistance dogs.
We will soon be recruiting volunteers to help with the festival and please keep an eye on our website and social media for details of when tickets will be available to purchase and for volunteering opportunities.
We look forward to welcoming you to the Town Hall in November.
