    Newark Winter Beer Festival

    Newark Beer and Cider Festival returns in November 2025

    Following the disappointment of not being able to hold our usual outdoor beer festival in the Castle Grounds we are delighted to announce that we will be having a ‘Winter Edition’ this November in the Town Hall. The two-day event will be in the magnificent ballroom in the town hall and it’s great to have found another iconic site in Newark to hold a beer festival. Some of you will remember that CAMRA ran a winter beer festival here before between 2009 and 2011 and so we have history.

    This year’s dates are 21st and 22nd November 2025 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 Afternoon 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 are very excited about this news and look forward to welcoming you to the Town Hall in November.

    Cheers.
