Beer…and so much more!

Our 26th Keswick Beer Festival will take place on the 7th and 8th June 2024, tickets will be on sale December 4th at 10:00 am.

For further information please contact us via info@keswickbeerfestival.co.uk or via the official Keswick Beer Festival Facebook page. Barrel sponsorship is on sale now – see our Sponsor a Beer page.

We are proud of our heritage, our very first Keswick Beer Festival was held in June 1997 on Keswick Rugby Club pitches which has been our happy home ever since.

We hope you can join our 26th anniversary celebrations to experience the best that the Keswick Beer Festival is famous for including:-

Great beers & ciders (plus one or two other favourite tipples of our loyal Keswick Beer Festival regulars).

 

Great Beer Festival atmosphere both inside our huge marquee and outside on the wonderful green, green grass of Davidson Park, the home of Keswick Rugby Club, surely one of the most scenic rugby grounds in the country, under the watchful gaze of Skiddaw, the 4th highest mountain in England.

Most of all you, our wonderful Keswick Beer Festival fans and all our welcoming, warm and friendly KBF Festival volunteers who will help you have a great time.

The Keswick Beer Festival is located in Keswick in the heart of the North Lakes in the Lake District National Park. As well as the Beer Festival, Keswick offers a great choice of places to stay, shopping, good restaurants and a great base from which to explore The Lakes e.g. take a Lake Cruise on Derwentwater or a visit one of our many tourist attractions.

About

Keswick Beer Festival is a fundraising event run jointly by Keswick Lions and Keswick Community Rugby Trust. Funds raised are split jointly between the two organisations. Keswick Lions use their funds to support local charities and works in the local area. Keswick Community Rugby Trust use the funds raised to support their youth programme and new-build development projects.

Tickets
Tickets will go on sale from the beginning of December as usual. If the sale of tickets from previous years festivals are anything to go by then get in quick to be sure of yours.

We are continuing the new online booking system for our 26th Beer Festival tickets and sponsorhip will be available through Gigantic.

Sponsor a beer

Sponsorship is one of the main revenue generators and without it the Keswick Beer Festival may not take place. Local businesses have been incredibly generous over the years in supporting the event. In previous years we raised over £60,000 for local charities and we hope to top this figure this year.

Don’t go hungry either!

Don’t worry about getting peckish during the festival as we have you covered with a great range of feastables from
some well-known local providers. Drink, eat and be merry!
